Volunteers from the Bridlington Heart Screening Group have urged people between 14-35 years old to come forward and fill the last few appointments in early November.
The booking system for the next screening days on 8th and 9th November at Bridlington Rugby Club on Queensgate is open and there are several slots still available.
To book just click on the link below which will lead to the Bridlington appointment times and dates.
The original screening sessions were set up in 2018 after the sudden death of Bridlington man James Moorfoot, 28, who tragically collapsed and died whilst playing football or Langtoft AFC at Rudston in February 2017.
James, who was a English Language teacher at Hornsea School, had shown no previous problems with his health.
Gail Slater, one of the organisers, put out this important message to anyone who is considering registering for the screening test.
“At our last screening days around 20 people did not keep their appointments on each of the 2 days – they just didn’t show up, not even letting us know they wouldn’t be attending.
“This came at a cost of £2000 and also prevented 40 other young people the chance of a screening.
“We do not want this happening again as alot of very kind and generous people donate to us and to see their money go down the drain like that is very upsetting and extremely frustrating.
“So with this in mind please only book if you can definitely attend, and if for whatever reason you cannot attend then please get in touch and give us good notice – then we may be able to fill your appointment.
“If you are wanting to be screened but as yet are unsure if you can make it please message us with your contact details and we can add you to our waiting list in case of any last minute unforeseen cancellations. If you feel you are able to attend an appointment check out the the link to book one.”
