Defibrillator and First Aid Box
There is a defibrillator on the outside wall on the right-hand side of the main entrance as you walk into the club. It is unlocked.
The first aid box is in the clubhouse cupboard, which is marked with the First Aid sign. It is important to complete an accident report book if any first aid is administered.
