A PUBLIC defibrillator has been installed at Bicester Rugby Club’s base in the town.

Bicester RUFC has installed the new life-saving machine on the wall of its clubhouse in Oxford Road.

The club said it was made possible thanks to donations from the club’s friends and family as well as Table 8 VPs, Bicester Sports Association and Buckingham RUFC.

The life-saving device will help support the town’s bid for a number of public defibrillators in public places so that nobody is more than eight minutes away from one of the machines.
