📣 Defibrillator Update

Our defibrillator has a new home – it’s now located just inside the main gate on the right, beside the coffee trailer.

If it’s ever used, please make sure to let a club officer know.

A big thank you to Tommy and Westport Community First Responders for their contribution towards the cost of the new box, your support is greatly appreciated! 🙏

Let’s hope it never needs to be used. 💙

We are delighted to be involved in this fantastic initiative. John Moore (Zulu) passed away suddenly in January 2023. His wife Nora, daughter Patricia and extended family has raised funds to purchased a number of public access AED's to be placed along the Great Western Greenway Cycling & Walking Trail in memory of Zulu.

We are delighted to announce the 3rd and 4th one has gone live and available to use should they be needed.

The third one is located at the entrance of John Malee's. Eircode F28 W9T3 pictured below.
