Sympathy
|
| |
The Wicklow Tennis club has learned with great sadness of the passing of a lifelong member and Trustee Mrs. Maureen Gelletlie.
Maureen was the oldest member of Wicklow Tennis Club with over 50 years of service on the Committee. She was Club President in 1976 and 1977 and from 1982 to 1994 inclusive and was awarded honorary membership on her retirement from her role as president. Maureen was very much at the heart of the formation of the club as it stands today. She was central to the retention and development of the Club Grounds, Club House and Courts at the Glebe and witnessed the change over from old grass courts to new tar macadam surfaces and ultimately change to all new synthetic surfaces.
Maureen, who has been a Trustee of the Club for many years, was dedicated to the Tennis Club and maintained a keen interest in Club matters right up to her last days.
She will be sadly missed and the President John Sinnott, Members of the Club Committee and all members extend their sympathy to all sons, daughters and extended family.

The club was delighted to welcome three representatives from the sponsors Augustus Cullen Lawn, Gus Cullen, Rachael Liston and Jennifer Ward who very kindly presented the prizes to the players. Tournament organiser Glenn Malone and club president John Sinnott extended a sincere thank you to Augustus Cullen Law for their sponsorship and reminded members that tournaments such as these would not happen without sponsorship.

Automated External Defibrillator
|
| |
Wicklow Tennis Club is very proud to announce the recent installation at our club of an Automated External Defibrillator, more commonly referred to as a Defibrillator. The device is positioned to allow all trained members quick and easy access to this life saving Defibrillator that in turn can potentially save the life of a person “young or old” who falls victim to Sudden Cardiac Arrest.In Ireland approximately 5000 people die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest every year and by placing a Defibrillator in the Tennis Club we hope to significantly increase the chances of survival from Sudden Cardiac Arrest should such an event occur in the Tennis Club.The chance of survival from Sudden Cardiac Arrest reduces by 7 – 10% every minute that goes by without Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) being carried out and a Defibrillator being used on the patient. The only effective treatment for Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the use of Defibrillation.
Advanced Paramedic Ken O’Dwyer, a club member with 13 years experience in the Dublin Fire Brigade and Ambulance service has advised the club on the setting up of the Defibrillator programme. There are currently six trained members who volunteered to take the internationally recognised Heartsaver AED training course with a further six who will be completing the final part of their training in the next two weeks. The Heartsaver AED course is a four hour training course dealing with calling the emergency services on 999/112, CPR, use of the Defibrillator and Choking. According to Ken O’Dwyer the volunteers successfully completed the course to a high standard and are ready if the need arises to deal with a person suffering from Sudden Cardiac Arrest, be they a one year old child or an elderly person. Dr. Colm Power of Westmount Clinic is the programme Medical advisor and has overseen the training. Congratulations to the following members who recently completed the Heartsaver AED course: Kerry Callery, Michelle Hender-Phillips, Niall O’Connor, Mark Sexton, Dr. Colm Power and John Sinnott ( Club President). The Committee of Wicklow Tennis Club would like to extend a ‘big thank you’ to Ken for his time, expertise and commitment throughout the training sessions.
