Leicestershire Response

[Roger Bentley]

Hi Guys,



Happy Christmas to you all from the North Sea where we will be tracking Santa's journey overnight.....



Just for info I will be back home (weather permitting) from 31st Dec departing again on the 16th January for a further 2 weeks. If we are to having a little get together for the Leicestershire 4x4 Response team, can I suggest Friday 29th January or if earlier I could do the 8th January which maybe a little to early in the year for some.



Anyway I have taken the liberty of using National Callsign LE02 :shock: hope you don't mind :lol:

Now then where to get some nice lettering for the Jeep????



have a good one, Regards, Roger.

No problem at all re members Number (Roger)as me LE01 (( MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS TO BE GIVEN OUT FROM THE FIRST MEETING ONWARDS AS AND WHEN JOINING FEES ARE PAID))I think the 29th an would be good as give us a little more time to get the word about,



Team fee's paid and insurance fee's as well upto 10 members for a start confirmation sent to Tony re this.



Roger I will need a photo of you head and shoulders only Please so I can start to sort out the membership cards (Don't worry about it as I will bring camera to first meeting and do it from there) plus any other people that wish to join.



The first year joining fee's will be £23 break down being admin £5 covering membership card and possible stickers (i am looking into them already) where I can buy them in bulk shall I say and the balance goes towards insurance etc



I have spoken to the bank this morning and have got to arrange a meeting re opening an account (name to be confirmed) hopefully leicestershire4x4response. Trish my wife does not want to be in the call out group but is willing to come to all meetings and take the minutes and try to look after the finances.for the team, But all this will be spoken about at the meeting,



I will be looking for somewhere to have the first meeting ie central to all concerned and at the minute it will be looking like west of Leicester area any suggestions please and if you now of somewhere please go and ask if they would be happy with us using them as a meeting place possibley on a monthly basis (leicester is more or less central to out county so somewhere around there would be good) Rik Jonny have you got any idea's please .



Rik & Jonny I could do with a PM both with your full contact details please and would you 2 like to try and sort out a meeting place between you ????



Well to this end I will wish you all a merry xmas and chat from the 30th onwards as I am away from dinner today,



Thanks for your input and forth coming help in this project.

Simon,



Can you PM me the names of any members of Leicestershire 4x4 Response, I'll set their access accordingly



As Roger says if members could amend their profile to show the right team that would be a help.

[Simon Dale]

Hi Paul and thanks for the interest as you can see I have only just got this off the ground so all the help I can get the better, I have Roger on board with me (long story to be told off the boards) but as you can see there is a couple of others interested Jonny & Rik now they have been asked to try and find a pub where we can meet on the 29th Jan If you would like to contact them and between you try to sort that would be great. As I have so much too do re registering the club etc it would take some weight off my shoulders please PM them direct from the main thread

chat soon stay with us we will get there very soon:

I have been in touch with the Leicestershire Local Resilience Forum and advised them of our presence.

Mr Bentley



In response to your inquiry, Leicestershire County Council Emergency

Management / LRF Resilience Team operates a voluntary scheme for 4x4

drivers who are willing to assist in an emergency. We currently have 47

volunteers on our dbase covering most areas of the County. It could be

quite possible that some of your Response Team are already on our list.

Our volunteers are normally available to assist in any emergency,

including getting aid to vulnerable people in present weather

conditions.



We would be happy to hold contact details of any other 4x4 groups who

would be willing to volunteer their services.



Regards



David Powell

Resilience Officer





So do any our merry band already reside on this list of 47 volunteers??
