Weds, 9 March, 7.30pm

Our plans to install an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) at the Hall are going well.  Please help us fund raise by either:

  • Personal donation or
  • Buying Rotary Club Prize Draw 2016 tickets.  All Prize Draw ticket sales, via Mitchel Troy Village Hall, will go towards our defibrillator.

Total cost is expected to be approx. £1000.  The Community Council has already committed £250 from the 2016/17 precept and with donations from generous residents and the Bridge Club, we are well on our way towards the target.

Everyone welcome
