📣 Defibrillator Update

As part of our Healthy Clubs commitment to promoting health, safety and wellbeing within our community, our defibrillator now has a new home, 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. 💙
