The team would like to extend a very warm welcome to the newest members of the callout list: Kate and Graham, who received their team badges on Thursday.

Not long after joining the team as trainees at the start of the year, both Kate and Graham were subjected to a very cold and snow-bound training weekend in February.  This didn't put them off however and they have both since tirelessly pursued their training, gaining competence in areas such as First Aid, Casualty Handling, Search Skills, Rope Skills, Communication Skills and Navigation.

At the indoor meeting on Thursday, both Kate and Graham were welcomed to the operational team by Team Leader, Phil Sparks.  We wish them all the very best working within the team over the coming years.
