TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

OFFICE BEARERS REPORTS TO AGM HELD IN THE BASE AND VIA ZOOM ON WEDNESDAY 16[TH] APRIL 2025

TEAM LEADER’S REPORT – FS

I would like to thank all the team members and the board for their support over the last 12 months. In the last 12 months, we have had 15 callouts. These callouts have been varied in nature and have included incidents such as:

● A medical incident near Loch Skene in May 2024 required the team to work alongside Helimed 5 and Rescue 199 to attend to a male in cardiac arrest.

● June 2024 saw the team called to the Carrifran Valley for an ankle injury, notable as the walker used the Emergency SOS via Satellite service to alert rescuers.

● Other callouts included assistance to Police Scotland, HMCG, and Nith Inshore Rescue for the search of a missing woman near Powfoot which had a tragic end but involved a find using drone technology.

● A search for a missing person near Moffat in December had the potential to be a protracted search and was the first time we used the training room as a control room for a live search.

In all of our callouts, the team performed effectively, demonstrating their commitment and expertise. Although we have lean spells, it is vital that we maintain our equipment readiness, as we do not know when the next request for our assistance will come.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported the training officer in delivering a great training program for both new and existing team members. The team has undertaken a variety of training activities to maintain and enhance our skills, including winter training and training at Grey Mare’s Tail. A successful joint exercise was also conducted. Cas Carer skills continue to be a focus, with new members including me embarking on the RRMT journey. It is crucial that all team members continue to support training to keep our skills as high as possible.

Last year we did not take on new probationers, but this year we have a new cohort and we wish them well on their journey to callout status.

The team has settled in well to the Skene Room, which has been a great addition to the team's base.

Alan has brought our equipment and wardrobe up to date. I must admit to struggling to choose which red jacket to pick up on the way to training.

It is difficult to thank everyone who has contributed to the team over the last year as there are so many things that go on in the background that helps keep the team running. Kevin has quietly checked all the teams radio equipment in the background, Andrew has kept the team vehicles in order, please be assured that every contribution counts towards keeping us a successful and capable Mountain Rescue Team.

In significant donations, more money has now been raised at Criffel, and Benmar garage is paying for all the vehicle fuel, we have also had some legacy’s which have boosted the team funds. Thank you to everyone who has donated to the team.

Looking forwards, we have the Charity Challenge coming soon; please can I ask all the team to support this if you possibly can. Thank you to the team that has attended the meetings to get this important date in the team calendar up and running. is planning to get the Criffel Fell race running again this year and has proposed 13th July. Mountaineering Scotland has asked to use the base for a navigation workshop on 11/12/13 July.

Lastly I must pass on my thanks to post holders who are moving on and team members who are standing back. has brought training on in the time he has been training officer, he has helped bring D4H on stream, brought ideas from his day job to help our structure and skill level and improved the probationer training. I look forward to seeing how continues to evolve the training officer role.

joined the team over 20 years ago, he was an active member of the callout list until his knees forced a back seat from the active callout list, since then though he has kept the teams books in order and seen the finances flourish in the time he has looked after them. Thank you .

has been in the team for over 40 years and held the posts of DTL, TL, Chair and secretary. led the team through the initial stages of the Lockerbie disaster, he has helped bring the team to where it is now and we thank him for his service to the team.

EQUIPMENT OFFICER’S REPORT

The upper body clothing project is complete. Originally the hooded soft shell purchase was going to be either the Montane Windjammer or the Keela Hydron. However we decided to ask for funding for both as the Windjammer is best suited to winter and the Hydon is best suited to summer. The Helly Hansen top supplied is a different spec to the sample we chose from. HH gave us an additional discount since it was not as ordered. G4H also gave us a larger discount than quoted which enabled a third G4H shirt to be issued. I imagine many of us keep one in our cars for readiness in attending a call out when not travelling form home. With the Windjammer being available in men’s only and the sizing being generous I reduced the number of spare Windjammer tops. This, together with the extra discounts, freed up grant money for other purchases. This has covered a spare set of embroidered MMRT logo badges, four pairs of microspikes, issue of Tech Wash and Proofer, some map bags and some kit for evaluation for future purchases. We were awarded £10k wind turbine money towards the £15.5k cost. We also spent about £1k on samples for evaluation prior to the grant award. Big thanks to for making the grant application and also to who helped with kit decisions. Should a ladies rescue red soft shell similar to the Windjammer become available then we will assess that.

Thanks also to everyone who helped with the inspections in October and March. Thanks also to Andrew for fixing the pin retention on Mule stretcher carrier. Four of us will be attending a 2 day equipment inspection course at Lyon in July.

Other matters during the year have been the three yearly servicing of our transceivers, photo guidance for the positioning of kit in the VW and Landrover which I think has helped in keeping things neat. Subject to funding the Titan stretcher wheel assembly in the Landrover will be changed to a lighter version. This will fit inside the Landrover rather than being on the roof. During the year the bulk of our slings were retired and replaced funded by MDCC. Team issue midge protection was also funded by MDCC. Ali was given some sun protection by Tesco. Please take some tonight. I don’t want to store it while its shelf life depletes. Anyone online who would like some put a message on WhatsApp chat.

TRAINING OFFICER’S REPORT -

It is with mixed emotions that I present this report to the membership after 4 years in post as training officer. As fellow board members, and past board members will know there is a time at which it becomes right to pass the baton, to provide opportunities to others and to allow for potentially new ideas to flourish. Equally, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in post, and what I hope you will have to found to have been a positive contribution to the team.

Over the last 12-month period there have been 36 training opportunities provided for team members, with an average attendance rate of 15 or 64% of the team. In total the team has undertaken 2569 hrs of training during this period.

Team training events have covered the full range of capabilities, including search, water, winter, medical, aviation, technical, communications and off-road driving. During training we have demonstrated our continuing commitment to working in collaboration with other responders including the Police Service of Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, the Scottish Ambulance Service Board, Nith-Inshore Rescue and neighbouring teams, who we have been able to involve at various stages. These relationships not only support and enrich our training but also improve our commitment to “Work together to Save Lives” with partners in the operational field, and also to realise wider opportunities for closer working.

Once again, this year in October we held the annual joint exercise, with this year’s theme being ‘Casualty Care’. Over the weekend the average attendance was 60 with representation from SFRS, Police Scotland MRT, Tweed-valley and Galloway teams. 17 members of Moffat MRT attended.

We also ran winter training at the beginning of March 2025. As there had not been a probationer intake at the start of 2024, the event only ran over 1 weekend and was attended by 9 members. Despite limited 'winter terrain' we undertook navigation exercises and transceiver work.

The feedback from both the joint-exercise and winter training was positive and I would hope that these continue to be a feature of the training programme in the future.

In February 2025, we commenced a new probationer intake. This group initially consisted of 4 prospective members; however, one has now chosen to leave the process due to ‘work

pressures’. The remaining 3 probationers are progressing well with their induction programme, with 2 more sessions planned prior to joining full team training from June 2025 onwards.

Water-training is due for all members and dates have been scheduled over the next 6-week period with 8 places on each of the 4 days. Please sign up if you have not already done so.

As members will be aware, training has been subsidised through the UKSAR Training Fund over the past 5 years. This funding was originally provided as an output from LIBOR monies. Last year I was asked to submit a final funding bid for the years 24/25 and 25/26 which we were successful in getting, and these funds will go to support the delivery of the winter training that we have just delivered, and winter, water and out-door first aid training for the next 12-month period. It is important to note these courses have a significant financial investment which will, beyond 2026, at this stage fall fully on team funding unless alternate grant monies can be identified either locally or nationally.

As of the 1[st] April 2025 the regulations surrounding PVG membership and ‘regulated work’ within the voluntary sector changed, and consequently the emphasis has moved from ‘work’ to ‘roles. In essence there is no change for members, however it is now a legal requirement for Board holders irrespective of role to have a satisfactory PVG in place. There is a grace period of 3-months for this to take effect, however given the decisions taken previously by the Board, Moffat MRT are in a strong position in relation to this change.

Members are aware that there is a requirement to attend 50% of all training sessions (80% during the probationary period). Whilst it is recognised that on occasions ill health, work and other external factors may impact on this, it is imperative that these issues are discussed with the leadership team. It is vital to the professionalism, competence, safety and community of our team that training is a core commitment for all members at all levels. I would urge people to review their own training records and to work with the new training officer to attend training. Ultimately the team has a responsibility to provide training to ensure that you are safe and competent to fulfil your role, but equally you have a responsibility and accountability to ensure that you can fulfil any task you are given. It is not an understatement to say that some-one’s life could depend on it!

Finally, I would like to recognise the work that goes in behind the scenes by many people to support the training officer and the training function for the team, be that from preparation of equipment and vehicles, facilitation, land clearance, catering etc. As well as local landowners who continue to grant us responsible access to their terrain. It is a team effort, and I am very grateful for everyone’s support over the last 4 years. I wish the new training officer every success and know you will continue to support them in this vital role.

TREASURER’S REPORT –

If you look at the I and E accounts, income and expenditure are both down from last year, expenditure particularly so. All good in the money in, money out and money left over scenario. Fewer grants this year but more donations (almost 1/2 as much again). Criffel remains a nice source of income, I'm awaiting another £1000. All in all the team is in a good financial position

MEDICAL OFFICER’S REPORT –

Firstly and foremostly my thanks go to the various members of the team who have contributed to team medical training over the past year - without all their input, particularly and , we would not have achieved as much as we have,

This year has seen a variety of medical training - from reinforcement of the basics such as Basic Life Support through the medically-themed Joint exercise to recommencement of Casualty Care (now called Remote Rescue Medical Technician - RRMT) training.

The Joint exercise was held successfully in October 2024 and included teaching on new concepts in SMR Medical processes - including mental capacity and recognition of life extinct, followed by a multiple casualty exercise as a broad group of multiple sticks, then the following day multiple simultaneous smaller group exercises with more casualty care involved. This appeared well received and helped consolidate care of the casualty as well as some of the new teaching.

We have recommenced RRMT Training with a view to examination in early 2026 when the current group of RRMT qualified members need to recertify. We have a group of 9 members either revisiting previous knowledge including 3 new members starting afresh building on their prior first aid knowledge and experience. This cycle we are utilising the MREW Moodle site as the current source of appropriate information. I wish them well in their learning.

I attend quarterly SMR Medical Officers’ meetings where national updates to medical information, processes and issues are discussed as a dissemination method from higher national bodies such as UKSAR and the MRT medical officers for the 4 UK nations. One outcome has been the removal of Entonox from general team utilisation to be reclassified to RRMT qualified members only. This has been widely broadcast to team members at and since the decision. Oxygen remains supported by the SMR Medical Officer for administration by all team members after appropriate training. I also have a role with the SMR Medical team in managing the national casualty care reporting audit form, and have also contributed to the recent SMR Capacity assessment form that is now in national use.

We have also held a local medical subgroup meeting to discuss our training, equipment, callouts and processes to ensure we are up to date and following best practice. These minutes are taken to the following board meeting for team member information should they wish to keep abreast of the discussions.

Otherwise duties have included maintaining team supplies and routinely replacing expired medication (which are now logged on D4H, away from Papertrail) and monitoring/auditing Controlled Drug storage/Audits.

I look forward to the next year in helping maintaining team medical capabilities, which includes a repeat BASP Outdoor First Aid Course booked for the 17-18th January 2026 - please save the date as this is really important to keep up to date with for basic first aid and operational capability!

SECRETARY’S REPORT –

  1. Applicants to join the team.

  2. a. In 2024 21 enquiries about Team membership, of which 8 returned forms, 2 directed to other teams. From these 4 Offered probationer training. The volume of enquiries suggest that most applicants do not understand the skills, time or commitment required or do not realise we are not a hillwalking/mountaineering training source.

  3. b. Current team list has 27 names

  4. Continue to get checks on Driving Licenses done by . There is a charge but it feels worthwhile. also highlighted that it is a requirement of our insurance that licenses are checked. I would highlight that C1 category can drive CV- we have 11 names. Almost all who have C1 as a legacy of when they took the driving test. In time we should plan for putting younger drivers through the test.

  5. Added to callout list April 2024

  1. There is an offer for Team members to get OS maps on phones. I will follow this up

  2. PVG – Our Team is compliant with scheme.

  3. Donations – ranging from £100 to £10000, from individuals, collection at Funerals, from Wills, local community councils (windfarm grants to Community Councils ) and a regular but anonymous donation from a family.

  4. For last few years I have submitted a list of our call outs to the Scottish Mountaineering Club for inclusion in the Journal published in Autumn each year. Detail is brief but indication of the range of call outs. I am happy to continue this and it seems to help our profile within Mountaineering circles and provide a published record of our activity.

I have been asked to join the Board of the Scottish Rights of Way Society and accepted. I don’t think there is a conflict of interest but wanted to share this information with the Team. The invitation came primarily as they wanted an SMC member. This is a society that began in 1845 and maintains historic rights of way.
