At the Annual Parish Meeting on 25 September, we had an excellent introduction to CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) by Lynsted resident Simon White.  This follows the recent installation of a defibrillator at the Black Lion pub in the heart of Lynsted.  The Parish Council is now organising a hands-on 'Heart Start' course, which will be run by Simon who is an Instructor at Heartstart UK.  
 
The course covers:  heart attacks, cardiac arrest, CPR, defibrillators, choking, bleeding and recovery position.  The date is Saturday 21 October at Lynsted Church.  There will be two sessions.  10am to 12.30 and 1pm to 3.30.  If you would like to attend, please email:  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  - indicating whether you would prefer morning or afternoon.
 
The course is free of charge, but we are requesting a donation of £10 per person to the British Heart Foundation.  
 
Because of limited capacity, we regret this particular course is only open to residents of Lynsted with Kingsdown Parish.
