It’s Coffee time
We know! Everyone has been hunkered down away from the snow, ice and generally cold weather. Not to worry, the weekend offers some cloudy but slightly warmer respite and it’s coffee morning again!
We haven’t see you since before Christmas and we’re just dying to know what everyone has been doing. We want to hear Christmas stories about Grandchildren and just what did you get for Christmas? It’s time to talk about plans for the Spring and what to do in the garden. We can moan about the weather, tell stories, swap gossip and all while have a cup of tea and a piece of cake. What’s not to like?
So, see you Saturday, 10:30 until 12:00. we’re looking forward to it.
P.S. If you know of anybody who likes to come to coffee morning but isn’t a big fan of the internet, just let them know because we’d love to see them too.
P.P.S. Know anybody who hasn’t discovered coffee morning yet? Bring them along. £2.00 gets you coffee or tea and cake.
Village Defibrilator
The Village Defibrillator (based on the outside wall of the Village Hall facing the bowling club) was again used last week (successfully we are pleased to report).
But a few reminders to all.
If needed please call 999 and ask for “Ambulance”, give the call handler the Cabinet number (it is on the cabinet front), they will give you the code to open the cabinet.
Remove the Defib and deploy. Once switched on it will give you full instructions by sound as how to use it.
Once used and you are ready, please inform myself or any Parish Councillor (Contact details are on the Village Hall outdoors notice board) that you have deployed the defib and they will arrange to collect it and we will then replace the parts needed and put back in the cabinet ready for reuse.
This is a Village facility looked after the Parish Council and as such there is NO cost to the user and we ask people not to fear using it.
I have been asked if we can run another Defib/CPR course, and this is being organised at present and more info will be sent out when confirmed.
Any questions, people should contact Cllr Marius Coulon.

Defibrillator – Save A Life
Did you know that Adderley Village Hall is equipped with Life-Saving Defibrillator.
Adderley residents are protected by a life-saving device, thanks to the installation of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at village hall.
The AED is user friendly, boasting a vivid display that gives voice instructions to guide a person through the steps of responding to a cardiac arrest. It can be used on both adults and children, with instruction given on the selection of the appropriate pads. Here is a useful link for reference – How to use a AED.

The defibrillator has been provided and maintained by the parish council.
The defibrillator is ready for use and is situated on the side of Adderley Village Hall facing the car park –
