A Community Defibrillator Seminar at Slingsby Village Hall on Wednesday 9th December 2015 at 7.30 pm
The Community Heartbeat Trust will be demonstrating the use of defibrillators and explaining how the equipment works and its benefits to the community in saving precious minutes in the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest.
The more people that know how to use the portable defibrillator installed in our community, the more chance there is of saving the life of a victim of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Everybody is welcome, and no special skills are required, just your willingness to play an important role in the event of a medical emergency.

Santa’s Sleigh will pass through Slingsby this Wednesday evening, 2nd December, courtesy of Malton Norton and District Lions Club.
His trip will start in Hovingham at 4.45 p.m. and finish in Appleton le Street around 9 p.m.
He hopes to greet many children, also he collects contributions towards the charitable work that Lions do – we benefit in Slingsby by the monthly delivery of low cost fish and chips to the elderly and housebound, for example.
Any changes to the planned times will be announced on Facebook and Twitter (using the hashtag #MaltonLionsSanta) and on the Lions website. The website homepage gives some details of the great work done locally by the Lions.
