PDMRO 50th Celebration Party

Team Photo

This weekend the Peak District Team members past and present got together to celebrate 50 Years of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation at Lea Green near Matlock. It was great to see so many of the teams represented and to have a chance to make new friends. The high ropes, obstacle course, BBQ, live music and team stretcher challenge made it a brilliant day, not even the wet weather could dampen spirits. 

Naturally the Lego team had to get involved too...

Summer Beer Festival

Last week Derby Mountain Rescue Team were fundraising at the 37th CAMRA Derby City Charter Summer Beer Festival and were honoured to be the team for the festival "50 Years of Derby Mountain Rescue Team". As well as a great opportunity to test a large selection of Beer, Ciders and Perries there were also two themed golden ales especially for the event: Derby Brewing Company Heli-Hopter 4.5% and  Clarks Stretcher Case 4%. The team were collecting at the event and received over two thousand pounds which is a fantastic sum.

The lego team didn't want to miss out on the action so they held their own festival...
