Hi Simon, I cant guarantee being available all the time or for training due to weekend work commitments, but will be happy to support the group.

Any chance of an application pack?

Not for the last 12 weekends I haven't.... but I will be next weekend... Gingerly though....

No lifting, carrying, bending..... How am I going to work then? :shock: :lol:





(Just don't mention what I drive, the Landy boys go all anorak)! :lol:

I don't think they would say anything if they saw your vehicle history! Anyway the new one is being tranformed gradually by the sound of things! :twisted:



Glad you'll be back on patrol soon as I spend so much time on the M6! :oops: Take it easy though.



Good to see you on here by the way.

And if you come across a chap by the name of Mel Page (he's a Civil Contingencies Officer with the Staffs LRF) feel free to drop my name, we worked together at Essex a couple of years ago.



As they say it's who you know not what you know :lol:



But seriously it can be a great ice breaker if contacting someone for the first time.

Whilst looking at the Staffordshire LRF website, I followed a link to Staffordshire Search and Rescue, the County's Lowland SAR Team and noticed some interesting facts



first off the quote:

Additionally we provide fully equipped 4x4 Vehicles to assist with evacuation, recovery & logistics during adverse weather wherever we may be required

Now that sounds suspiciously like what we do?



No wonder when I then discovered the statement:

From humble beginnings as members of the Staffordshire & Shropshire Land Rover Club Rover-Rescue Unit, and now an independent charity (since 2004),

So it could be worth making contact?

I've tried contacting Staffordshire LRF to look at joining/ supporting them but never had a reply.



So in the end I joined 4x4Response Wales but a West Mids group would also be of interest.
