Further to this discussion on BOTC, we have received an update covering the Suffolk PAL's position and enforcement on AED placement at fields used for organized competition.

Someone in our community purchased one AED and we are in the process of raising enough money to purchase a 2nd one so that we can have one at each of our home fields. Our director has arranged to qualify our coaches on the use of AED's.
BOTC applauds this move and is pleased to see increased training being offered on a town club by club basis.
