Mountain Rescue Needs Your Help!

 

The Mountain Rescue Team has to pay VAT on what they purchase and it is our view that this negates the important work that they do!  A petition has been set up and submitted to Number 10 to ensure that this is put right.  Click the link below to sign the petition.

 

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/MRSERVICE/

 

It is estimated that the combined efforts of the 50+ teams in the organisation save the tax payer in excess of £6 million per annum. The police have the statutory responsibility for missing persons yet lack the resources to search for them. If they had to find the resources they would have to take police officers off their normal duties, making the streets less safe. The task of searching is often sub-contracted to MR teams, hence the saving to us tax payers. Not all searches are for mountaineers. Increasingly MR teams are called out to search rural and urban areas for elderly persons suffering from dementia, missing children and adults determined to self harm. MR teams played pivotal rolls at Lockerbie, the Chinese cockling tragedy on Morecambe bay and the Virgin trains derailment in Cumbria.

 

The MR service is appealing to government to excuse them of VAT in return for the savings they offer. It is estimated that the combined VAT bill of the 50 teams is approximately £200,000. This would make a tremendous boost to their collective finances. To date government are not listening, hence the petition. Every MR team functions purely on the generosity of individuals, organisations and businesses in their own area to supply the service they provide. None of them receive any guaranteed funding whatsoever. The majority of them are registered charities.

 

Please Take A Minute And Make A Difference

 

 

Our next ITM Tracking Course will take place in Sussex on the 26-28 March 2010.

 

Hi all

 

The summer is here and it is great to be out and about introducing people to new things.

 

For the field archers out there, we now carry the entire range of Rinehart 3Ds.  These are being added to the shop at the moment, so please browse away.  Everything from a frog to a life size bedded Elk. 

 

Work for a company?  Looking for a different experience for your staff?  Why not see what we can do for you.  Just drop us an email.

 

New Courses are on the way!  We have teamed up with some fantastic people in order to offer more courses in 2009.  You will soon be seeing details of Tracking, Survival and Travel Skills courses on the site, as well as the old favorites of Field Archery and Photography.

 

We will be at the Wilderness Gathering again this year.  Make sure that you come and say hello, not to mention shooting some arrows in the woodland range.  We wil be running another archery related master class, stay tuned for more information.

 

Bye for now

All the best - Rob & Mel - Wilderness 1-2-1
