We
are a voluntary organisation with a written constitution and run by
a committee elected from amongst our members. We have a typical membership
of about 25 volunteers who live around the team area and have demonstrated
the necessary skills and commitment. Or the other interpretation is
that we are 25 over-grown kids who accept any excuse to get out on the
hill.
When someone is in trouble on the hills in our area, the police are called
and if it requires a mountain rescue callout, we are alerted by SMS
message or telephone call.
We organise our own training and decide upon our own training standards. We
are affiliated to the Mountain Rescue Committee of Scotland.
