There's 3 possible groups I think;



Hereford - my house was in Hereford and Worcstershire I think, before they moved the boundary a mile up the road.

Gloucestershire - not far

Wales - the way we all go when playing



Which is actually closest and / or best I haven't yet worked out......[/quote]



Nothing to stop you going to both meetings and seeing what you think before you join. And Wales training events are also advertised to other groups so you can go to those when you fancy travelling further if they have spaces. But things do get booked up pretty quickly lately!



I actually live nearer to Worcester now than Hereford but haven't ventured down the M5 to Gloucestershire group yet!

Theresa.



Come on down, you'll be made very welcome - we don't bite down in Gloucestershire - well not too hard anyway.

Re: Hello from the Midlands
 

Let me know when your next meeting is and I'll try and get over there.



Would be interesting to find out who the other Worcester members are as well. Herefordshire also have some Forest of Dean members so we overlap quite a bit I think on the borders.



Shall I collect Tim on the way and we can fight over him?! :twisted:

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o







Anyway, now I'm confused - which group covers which area?



I always think of Hereford and Worcestershire together, but it looks like it's Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.



I ask because Worcestershire would be nearest to me ;)





You guys know where you are, and where you spend most of the time - so which is nearest to me in Halesowen??

Re: Hello from the Midlands
 

Tim, Theresa.

Gloucestershire now covers Gloucestershire and Worcestershire and is now actually Gloucestershire - Worcestershire 4x4 Response. We actually are part of the Worcestershire Communitee Volunteer Emergency Committee (CVEC).



Next Meeting is a week on Tuesday (20th October) at the Aviator pub on Staverton Airport. You can get directions on the Gloucestershire Website (still gloucestershire4x4response.co.uk but son to be gw4x4r.co.uk)

Re: Hello from the Midlands
 

Gloucester, Cheltenham and Worcester all run along the M5 so I guess that's why they're connected together that way. And I think a few people from Worcester joined Gloucestershire group so they spread up that way. (Is that correct Andy?)



Herefordshire joins onto Wales so there's some overlap between those two groups - mainly me! :D



The meetings for the two groups are probably a similar distance from you so I think you should go to both, then you could set up a West Midlands group, fill in the gaps and join us all together!



At the moment Herefordshire are planning on having members meetings quarterly with training and events in between so not due for another one for a little while but will keep you informed.



I'll do my best to get over there to the meetingnext week as I've been meaning to for ages.

Oh dear - you've seen that thread and reputation here is ruined right from the start :D



Yes I do have a ham licence, but my radios have been in a draw for 10+ years. Keep meaning to use them again properly.

I used them a lot when I lived in Plymouth, but hardly at all since I moved back north.
