Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive

We have two defibrillator units in the village, but if there was an emergency, would you know what to do; how to use them?

St John Ambulance is offering a FREE demonstration on how to do effective CPR and how to use a defibrillator. 

It can be a scary thing, but a brief introduction and the opportunity to ‘have a go yourself’ helps to overcome this fear. There is no fee, but any donations on the day will be gratefully accepted. 

In order to set this up in the village hall, we need to know how many people would be interested in coming.

If you are interested, please email editor@holcotvillage.co.uk

Holcot Hotspot is now hibernating…

Well, sort of. In plain English, this means that the Holcot Hotspot will not run again until later in the year. I’m guessing this’ll be in October or thereabouts.

But more exact details will emerge nearer the time and will be posted on this website.

In the meantime, you have six months or so of balmy summer weather (should that be ‘barmy’?) to hone your skills in indoor bowls, table tennis, dominoes and the like before putting them to the test next time around.

And to that end, “May the Force be with you”*

* Bit of a non-sequitur but, hey, I’m struggling!

REMINDER: Annual Holcot Parish Meeting; Village Hall; Thursday 16 April; 6.30pm

This is not a Parish Council meeting, but an ‘open-to-everyone’ annual event that gives you the opportunity to have your say.

There will be presentations and briefings from invited guest speakers, and you will be able to ask questions, share your views and raise any concerns.

Further details and a full agenda are now available on the Parish Council website at holcot-pc.gov.uk and in the notice board on Main Street, Holcot.
