Our members are drawn from across the area and come from all walks of life. We benefit greatly from members whose professional skills help shape our training, such as doctors, teachers, engineers and outdoor instructors.

In January 2026 we had a healthy active call-out list of 35 male and female members. We look to appoint new probationary members twice a year.

If you are interested in joining, read about our training and contact the team secretary.
