George spent many of his holidays at Brompton, staying with his grandmother or in the Bairstow holiday home. One of the first decisions the GBCT made was to install a defibrillator in the village. In anticipation of this, the Trust ran a stand at the annual village fete to give attendees an introduction to first aid and a chance to see a defibrillator in action. The fete attracted around 300 people, both locals and holiday makers, with many taking a keen interest in the demonstrations held by the volunteers Chris Monk, Nat Johnson, Gav Little, Matthew Leopold and Nicola Helme.
