Interesting, didn't know they were looking

Just signed up.

I'll sign u p to work for nothing when my local pm or councilor does ...wirral council s sides must be spliting

Some of the tasks overlaps with Merseyside Lowland Search and Rescue, a probationary ALSAR organisation.

I'm very surprised they didn't approach the police or ALSAR to find this out.

I signed up for this in April, I think. Only got the email to attend the induction (which is in January) a couple of days ago. Shame they didn't have their act together sooner as New Brighton could have used the help last week!

See you there Rambo!

Can I ask have you read the details of what is involved?

If anyone is interested, Merseyside Lowland Search and Rescue now has a website (albeit under construction).

www.mersar.org.uk

This explains what an ALSAR team does: http://www.alsar.org.uk

And this is the site of neighbouring Cheshire team: http://cheshire-sarteam.org/

They're not taking on new members yet, but will be in the new year.
