Monday June 19th 1400hrs. We were called by the ambulance service to assist a lady who had fallen on a path below Captain Cook’s monument near Great Ayton. The 55 year-old was on a day trip from Filey with her family when she slipped and injured her leg. Team members were deployed to the area in our Landrover ambulances and were able to reach the incident site with first aid equipment after a short walk up the hillside. The lady was treated at the scene by team members and a team doctor before being carried 800m across the fields on our specialized mountain rescue stretcher to where the Yorkshire Air Ambulance had landed which flew he to James Cook Hospital for treatment. The incident involved 14 team members and lasted a couple of hours.
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.

Unfortunately due to the overnight rain with more forecast, today's event at Redcar Racing has been cancelled so we will not be there! Statement from the racecourse:
Unfortunately today’s Easter Monday race meeting has been abandoned.
We are bitterly disappointed that racing is not able to go ahead but there is little that can be done given the amount of recent rainfall this morning.
All pre-paid tickets will automatically be refunded, there is no need to contact the racecourse office.
