ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS
Especially now the village green has been lit up and the Christmas tree decorated. Thanks must go to village stalwarts Rob and Marylin Boeuf who have carried out this task as of now and over the past few years. Comments in the village so far indicate that this years effort is superb and equal or even better than previous years. Much appreciated!! Well done both!!

COMMUNITY DEFIBRILLATORS
Many villagers may have watched “Morning Live” on Monday morning 29th November on BBC 1 at approximately 9:15am. The subject was non other than defibrillators and the location of same and instructions for use. The programme went on to show what happened when a member of public (a lady in this instance) suffered a sudden cardiac arrest whilst out shopping! Passing members of the public applied CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) an ambulance was called and the nearest defib machine location was sought, while others tried to remember where the life saving machine was located. Do you know where the machine is located in your village? Please take note! The nearest Community Defibrillator is located outside Sutton Cum Lound Village Hall on Town Street and is available 24 x 7. Another option is sited outside Lound Village Hall, Town Street, Lound.
