🚨 Important Club Notice – AED / Defibrillator Relocation 🚨

The Club has made the decision to temporarily relocate our AED (Defibrillator) from the Tauriko Club rooms to the Rifle Range at TECT Park while we work to secure funding for a permanent replacement.

This decision has been made as a precaution due to the Range's location and the longer response time for emergency medical services. Having an AED readily available at the Range could make a critical difference in an emergency.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with its location so you know where to find it if it's ever needed in an emergency.

If you notice any warning lights, low battery alerts, or other prompts on the AED, please let an NRO or the Range Manager know as soon as possible so it can be attended to.

Can you help? We're looking for someone who may be able to assist us in sourcing a grant or funding for a new AED so we can have one permanently located at both the Rifle Range and our Tauriko Club rooms.

If you can help or know of a funding opportunity, we'd love to hear from you. Please email [email protected].
