Christmas Craft Fair
Carham Parish Defibs will be at the Christmas Craft Fair at Cornhill Village Hall tomorrow, Friday 8 November, selling cards, decorations, candles and more, and running the raffle, with all proceeds going to the defib fund. The fair takes place from 6 pm to 8 pm and admission is free. It promises to be a very enjoyable evening. Please come along, if you can!
Raffle Draw
The draw for Carham Parish Defibs’ Big Summer Raffle will be tomorrow, Saturday 31 August, at 11.00 in Cornhill Village Hall. Doors open at 10.30. Tea, coffee and scones will be available, by donation, and last-minute raffle tickets can be bought before the draw takes place.
After the draw, at about 11.15, there will be a CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) and defibrillator demonstration. If you live in the parish and you are planning to apply for a public access defibrillator for your community, this is an opportunity to come along and see how these life-saving procedures are carried out, and ask any questions you have about them.
Everyone is welcome to this event, which is expected to finish by 12.00.
