All defibs that are accessible to the public - even on restricted time/day basis, should be registered on The Circuit. This enables the ambulance service to locate the nearest defib in case of emergency.
If you know of a defib that isn't registered please email monty8590@btinternet.com and I can talk you through registration or act as custodian and do it for you.
As we all know defibs saves lives but only if their availability is known.

We have been made aware that some youths were seen messing about with the defib box at Askam Rugby Club.
Only authorised persons or those instructed to access the defib in an emergency by the ambulance service have a genuine need to handle the box.
If you have concerns about the cleanliness or condition of this box contact this page or the ambulance service
Any damage to the box could have resulted in a life saving peice of equipment being unavailable for use. Thank you very much to the member of the public who challenged these youths.
