Don’t forget Defibrillator training tomorrow in Poynings Village Hall. 6.30 – 8.00.pm
This training will be a bit of general theory, CPR and Use of Defibrillator. With manikins and AED (Defibrillator simulators). Includes adult, child and baby theory. If there is time, will run through Choking as well.
All welcome.
If coming, can you email at clerk@poyningsparishcouncil.com to give an idea of numbers, for equipment needed.

3 dates for your diary, not to be missed. All in Poynings village hall.   

Defibrillator training 8th May 6.30 – 8.00pm.  
There are approximately 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) a year within the UK. However, the survival rate is currently low, with only 10% of victims surviving an OHCA. Yet, research has shown that deploying a defibrillator within 3–5 minutes of collapse can produce survival rates as high as 50–70%.
This training will be a bit of general theory, CPR and Use of Defibrillator. With manikins and AED (Defibrillator simulators). Includes adult, child and baby theory. If there is time, will run through Choking as well.
All welcome.

Annual Parish Meeting. Wednesday 15th May. 7.30.   
Guest speaker, Trevor Povey, to talk about the Railways of the Dyke.
The Devil’s Dyke has attracted sightseers for generations. At one time there were three types of railway to be found at the Devil’s Dyke. Where did they run between and what was the journey like through the countryside. What other attractions were there. What can be seen today?
Join us from the beginning to the sad end.
And of course drinks, and nibbles.
All welcome

Party in the Village. Saturday 20th July
Remember the Jubilee and Coronation Parties? Well, this will be similar, but better, and without the mugs! More details to follow.
All welcome.

Broadband update
As you may be aware. A few years back Poynings Parish council applied for grants (via a voucher scheme) to have superfast fibre to the premises installed in Newtimber, Poynings and Fulking. It was successful and the rollout is now complete. Even if you haven’t applied yet, it is available, up to speeds of 950 Mbps

Poynings Parish Council has a vacancy for a Councillor and is looking to Co-Opt shortly.  
If you wish to express an interest, please contact myself or a councillor ASAP.   
Kind regards.
