Save the Date: Next Meeting  is 4th October when we have a special virtual guest, Liz Baugh to run a CPR training Exercise for members. The meeting will start as usual at 7:30pm in the Marina Bar and the training will start at 8pm.

CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a vital life-saving skill which is used when someone’s heart has stopped such as after a heart attack or near-drowning. Liz will give us guidance so we will all have the confidence to have a go if the need ever arises.  This wouldn’t be training without a practical exercise, so please can you bring a pillow with you, and an old pillowcase that is no longer required? To add a bit of fun to a serious exercise, we’ll also have a competition with a prize of a Distillery Tour for Two kindly donated by our neighbours at the Portsmouth distillery. You’ll find out more on the night!

Liz is a former Royal Navy Medic and is now Lead Medical Consultant with Red Quare Medical. She provides medical training services for maritime organisations, from commercial ships to super-yachts. She fully understands the world of boat angling and her training will be highly relevant for us. This training has been registered with the Resuscitation Council UK and everyone attending will get a CPR guide sheet to take home.
