Free drop-in CPR and Defibrillator training session
“For every minute that someone is in cardiac arrest without receiving CPR and having a defibrillator used on them, their chances of survival decrease by 10%.
A defibrillator is a simple piece of equipment that is easy to use but could make the difference between life and death.
We are fortunate that through fund raising, hard work and the generosity of local people we now have two new ‘defibs’ in the area. One at Bromsash and one in Gorsley in addition to the existing Linton ‘defib.’
To enable people, adults and children, to familiarise themselves with using a ‘defib’ and have a go at CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation), The Ross-on-Wye Community First Responders are running a free training session at Linton Village Hall on Saturday 24th May. No need to book, just pop in between 10 – 12. Refreshments will be available; it will be a very relaxed event – no stress – stress is bad for our hearts!
The Bromsash Defib team are constantly trying to raise funds for the maintenance costs associated with keeping the defib in working order. Please make a donation to their “Just Giving” account –

Powerful, witty, relevant. A dramatic homage to Virginia Woolf.Join Virginia Woolf in an effervescent evening as she forms her exciting, groundbreaking ideas.“A beautiful portrayal by an accomplished actor a the top of her game”. (British Theare Guide).
Woolf lives!
Oxbridge. 1929. Faced with blatant injustice and inequality, Virginia Woolf slices through notions of gender disparity with a biting mix of integrity and visceral charm.
Award-winning actress, Heather Alexander breathes new life into the creative process behind A Room of One’s Own. In a provocative dramatic interpretation, the audience shares
Woolf’s frustrations and dreams as we are led on an intimate journey from study, lecture hall, British Museum and Oxbridge.
A powerful, humane and often funny exploration of an extraordinary woman.

Music Night with ‘Grey Wolf’ Friday 25th June 6.30 for 7pm start
Grey Wolf is an acoustic Americana/old-time folk band from the Welsh Marches playing traditional instruments such as banjo, fiddle, guitar, dulcimer, mandolin and double bass alongside fine vocal and harmony singing. They like to mix traditional Americana and old time tunes with a few self-penned songs and their aim is, above all, to entertain.
Equally at home in small village halls and much larger venues, the band has headlined several of the prestigious UK’s Old Time American Music and Dance Festivals and has appeared throughout the UK.
The Birmingham News said of Grey Wolf’s performance at the Kitchen Garden Cafe in Birmingham “There’s an equality to the group’s spread of sound, but each player is continually soloing-in-motion, rising up in turn, according to where the ears of the audience might alight at any one moment”.
Cash Bar. Tickets £12 Adult, £6 under 18’s. Email LVH@lintonvillage.com to book.For more information about the band, visit www.greywolffolk.com or Facebook
