GOLF: Prehen club purchase defibrillator

Mr Eamon McCourt, City of Derry Golf Club President Mr Maurice Quigg, Mr James McGuiness (Heartsine Ltd), City of Derry Golf Club Lady Captain Mrs Frances McLaughlin and Mr Noel OConnell.

The funding target was recently achieved and the life-saving machine has now been delivered.

Last Tuesday night Mr James McGuiness of HEARTSINE presented the latest model to Lady Captain Frances McLaughlin.

The club will now undertake a training program with members to ensure that, should use of the defibrillator ever be required, club members and members of staff alike will have the knowledge and training to use the equipment.

The organising committee would like to thank all those who have made this acquisition possible.
