Paul Humphreys Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 4x4 Response Wales Recruitment Evening – Llandrindod Wells 4x4 Response Wales will be holding a recruitment and information evening at The Llanerch Inn LLANDRINDOD WELLS LD1 6BG on Wednesday 26th May starting at 7:30pm. The evening is aimed at existing 4x4 owners who would be willing to make themselves and their vehicles available to provide logistical support to the Emergency Planning Service and other agencies in the event of severe adverse weather or local emergency. The Group was kept very busy across Wales in the heavy snow in January undertaking over 100 callouts in support of Emergency Services, Hospitals, and Social Care. Similar evenings held recently in Cwmbran, Llandudno and Pencader have resulted in over 60 new members being recruited in less than 6 months. Anyone who is interested in finding out more about the Group will be welcome to attend the Llandrindod Wells meeting. Alternatively, there is plenty of information available from the Group Website at www.4x4responsewales.org. It is planned to hold a regular monthly meeting in the area once a core local group is formed. 4x4 Response Wales organises regular training events in a number of relevant disciplines including Off Road Driving, Recovery Techniques, Communications and Navigation. Membership presents an ideal opportunity for 4x4 owners to learn to drive their vehicle safely off road and in adverse conditions and also to support their communities in times of need. 4x4 Response Wales is a registered charity offering logistical support to Emergency Planning Officers and Emergency Services during times of severe weather and other local emergency. The Group organises regular training and assessment weekends across Wales to prepare their volunteers and vehicles and to ensure that members can provide a high quality service when required. 4x4 Response Wales is part of the National 4x4 Response Network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
