February saw us welcome the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) for a demonstration and refresher on providing the very important skill of CPR and basic first aid. Members were walked through how to look out for cardiac arrest and how to calmly use a defibrillator and perform CPR if needed. We learnt that a single helicopter trip for the EAAA is around £4250, with an average of 5 call outs a day! They rely heavily on donations from the public to continue running and saving lives.
After the demonstration, each member then performed CPR on a Resusci Annie (at the expense of our knees!) and also had the chance to use a model defibrillator. We are now up-to-date with our first aid skills and hope to never need to use them!

We followed with some refreshments while the EAAA volunteers decided the winner of our competition which was to bring in a copper item. Christine won with her Vintage Channel Island milk jug (pictured in the centre).
