Martinborough has its latest Public AED (Automatic External Defibrillator), now installed at the Men’s Shed in Cork Street.
This is a public access AED: i.e. it is not located inside a building so is accessible by the public if needed.
A special vote of thanks to the Wairarapa Building Society, Martinborough Lions Club and to the members of Martinborough Men’s Shed and Martinborough community for their generous donations.
Full instructions on how to access and use the defib unit are on the cabinet and also by audible instructions given by the device itself.
Enlarged Book Exchange cabinet
Martinborough Men’s Shed has constructed and installed a new, larger cabinet for the Community Book Exchange outside the Lions Hall in Oxford Street.
The popularity of the book exchange meant the old cabinet was no longer big enough.
Using recycled materials, the new cabinet was constructed by club members and last week was installed and re-stocked with books.
