Mountain Rescue talk in Stirling 30 May

Mountain Aid have organised a talk on Mountaineering Incidents by Bob Sharp, former Lomond Mountain Rescue Team leader and co-author of Mountain Rescue, a history of Mountain Rescue, to coincide with their AGM on 30 May.

Bob was involved in Mountain Rescue for around 30 years and took part in more than 250 call-outs and hopes his talk will be entertaining as well as informative presentation. The talk will start at 8pm, 30 May at Stirling Rugby Clib and is free and open to all, the Rugby Club bar will be also open.

Mountain Aid will be holding their AGM at 7:30pm immediately before Bob’s talk. The organisers say that anyone is welcome to join the AGM and with nothing controversial on a very short agenda, the plan is to get through this by 8 pm but that the talk will start at 8pm regardless.

Mountain Aid is a charity with 3 aims: to help injured hillgoers; to support Mountain Rescue Services; and to promote mountain safety.
