Members of the Smalltown and Dullbridge Navy Squadron, based at HM Naval Station Smallbridge, expressed their gratitude after taking delivery of a new life-saving defibrillator.
The new machine, which cost £1500, was handed over by members of the Society of Secret Handshakes, Handgrips and Handgestures (SSHHH), who had raised funds to pay to purchase and install the equipment.
Several residents immediately contacted SomersetClive to ask us if we knew what happened to the money supposedly raised by Squire Teflon and his close-friend and employer Mistress Bones, who had also promised to donate defibrillators to the town, from the proceeds of Mistress Bones’ World Record Beating Olympic Ice Rink, as well as the duos Annual Jamboree in Chateau Park, as part of their Smalltown and Dullbridge Duplicated Events Social Team (SaDDEST) fund raising efforts.
Readers will remember that Squire Teflon’s Town Council awarded a grant of £16,000 to SADDEST to purchase the Ice Rink, and no one has ever discovered what happened to the funds left over from the supposed profit.
Vague promises about the purchase of defibrillators were made by SaDDEST, but it has since been left to independent groups to raise funds to place them around the town.
Speaking on behalf of HM Naval Station, Commander Gregory Dom, said “We are delighted to be the recipients of this piece of life saving equipment which will help us save lives. We thank SSHHH for their generosity.”
