This week is the 37th annual Volunteers Week and as we also enter a new month let's hope our volunteer Team members aren't as busy in June as we have been up to now! We attended 20 call-outs in April and May combined. Although we occasionally reach double figures in one month we actually attended 10 in each of those…

It's the start of the meteorological summer and also time to reveal the June photo from our 2021 Calendar!

This month's 2021 Calendar photo was taken on the North York Moors National Park along the Cleveland Way National Trail south-east of Osmotherley, near to Whitestone Scar. Appropriately enough with the cyclists in view, the April sponsor is Bike Scene at Guisborough, long-term supporters of the Team. In fact, they also sponsored our 2020 Calendar! Bike Scene are main dealers…
