This month we will be running a mock rescue, come prepared to be outside.

This month we will be looking at our equipment used for rescues when the snow has disappeared including the different stretchers and equipment carriers.

This month we will be focusing on mapwork & navigation using tabletop exercises, also looking at the new spot devices we have and how the data can be used at the base.

Please bring your compasses if you have one, we will be inside although we will be sending some members out in vehicles to enable us track them using the spot devices.

Please register on the website if you intend to attend, this allows us to have an idea of numbers when planning exercises.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks

This month we will be focusing on radio communications, within small scenarios.  Be prepared to be outside for part of the session.

Look forward to seeing you there

We will be going over First Aid equipment, casualty packaging and introduction to ropes.  This is primarily for the newer members of  search and rescue but all members are welcome, whether it is to refresh your own skills or to assist the newer members to become more familiar with our equipment.

Look forward to seeing you there

We are kicking of the New Year with avalanche skills training.

We will be outside practising transciever searches,probe line, digging techniques etc Hopefully we will have some of our CARDA dogs out as well so we can see them at work.

Please come prepared to be outside and bring along any personal avi equipment that you have.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and see you all in the New Year.

Stay Safe

This month we will be looking at winter packs & avalanche rescue preparation, hopefully with a presentation from one of the CARDA dog handlers.

For the next training session we will be looking at communications.  There will be a short informative presentation about radios, repeaters, and other comms. used within  SAR. There will be a chance to practise your radio skills outside afterwards, so come prepared to be outside. The exercise will also give the base staff a chance to practise their skills so please come along whether you want to be involved with SAR either at the base or in the "field".

This month we will be running a simulated search and rescue in the local area.

Come prepared to be outside and hiking the local trails.

For members interested in being part of the base team, this would be an ideal session to see how things are run in the office during a search.

Come along and join this months training.  Due to the lack of response for August training we have rescheduled the activities planned for September.

We are planning an evening based on shoreline searches & rescues, a short presentation will be given prior to going out to the river.  The swiftwater team will simulate being casualties so you can practise your land based rescues.

Equipment needed - sturdy footwear (don't mind getting wet) possible change of clothing (in case you fall in)

Swiftwater team - come prepared to go in the water, the dry suits should be here by then.

We will provide helmets, PFDS, whistles etc.

Come along for a fun evening and check out our new equipment bought with funds raised at the BBQ fundraiser earlier this year.
