All Summer, we have challenged Cornwall with a fiendish quiz designed to test your general knowlege and offering a cash prize to the winners.

We can now reveal the results (and the answers - which you can see by clicking on the 'continue reading' link)

There were in fact 5 equal entries in first place which were all entered into a hat and drawn as follows:

1st out of the hat & winner of the £100 prize - Terry Mills of Coombe

2nd out of the hat & winner of £50 prize - Nina Perrin of St Ives

3rd out of the hat and winner of £20 prize - Richard Vernon of Swindon, Wilts.

Well done to all winners (and special thanks to Nina Perrin who donated half her winnings back to the team).

Sally Haywood of St Austell and Miss C Simmonds of Redruth were the two others who got the answers right but were not in the drawn from the hat.

Thanks to everyone who took part, you helped us raise over £600 for team funds.

On Friday 9th October, we opened the doors of our new base at St Dennis to our new neighbours in the village.

SAR & Support Team members were on hand to welcome and show round our visitors, young and old, and to offer refreshements and activities for the kids (including a colouring competition, 'Find the Family' and face painting)

We were extremely pleased with the response from the community and have made lots of new friends along with some enquiries about membership.

The formal launch of our base takes place on 23rd October at 7.30pm when Local Businessman, Johnny Hawkins, will officially cut the ribbon.

We would like to thank the members of Bude Art Society who held an art exhibition over the summer and have donated the proceeds, a marvellous £150, to the team. We are in the process of re-stocking our first aid kits and this money will come in very useful. Our grateful thanks to them and all who donated.

You may have noticed our website has been out of action for a week or so. We have rounded up the gremlins responsible and put them back in their cage. In the meantime, our wonderful web people from Atlantis Web Design are working on a new and improved site for us. Watch this space...

The team would like to thank the crew of Sea King 169 from 22 Sqn, RNB Chivenor for coming down to Davidstow on Bodmin Moor for a training session with us today.

In near perfect conditions, we were able to complete safety and familiarisation training and were half way through embark & disembark drills and flights when sadly they were tasked away to an incident.

Although only half of us got flying time with them, the whole team enjoyed it and we got some good pictures (coming soon). We hope to be able to meet up with them again in the near future to pick up where we left off and thank them again for their time today.

 

Team members have spent the last 2 weeks cleaning, painting, decorating, mending and moving as we moved into our new base at St Dennis. At last, we have a home of our own. The site (the former Fire Station) is ideally situated in mid Cornwall just a few miles off the main A30 in the busy village of St Dennis.

We will shortly be holding an open evening for local people to come and see what we do at the base and some time after, we will have a formal launch.

We are currently looking for stacking chairs and folding tables to allow us to conduct training sessions in the base and would be pleased to hear from anyone who can oblige.

Members of our Technical Rescue Team joined forces with a team from British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) today to practice water-borne deployments. The aim was to practice getting our technical rescue team, and their kit, ashore in the event they needed to access remote or tidal mine workings around the coast of Cornwall.

We had been on standby for this throughout the Bank Holiday Weekend and today conditions had eased enough to allow us to launch from Hayle Harbour. The mine adit we had chosen was up the coast, near Portreath and a support crew had rigged and abseiled down to the portal when we got there.

We successfully disembarked our team of four plus all our kit (drill, stretcher, ropes, rigging gear etc) and were met by the 3 person support team. We gained access to the adit and set up a quick rescue scenario before calling the boat back in to pick us up in a growing swell and on a rising tide. Despite the worsening of the conditions, we were able to complete the exercise successfully and both we and the BDMLR crew found the exercise enjoyable and educational.

Thanks to Jan, Mark & the crew for taking us and we look forward to working with them some more in due course.

Today, we were planning to attend the St Dennis Gala Day to introduce ourselves to the residents of St Dennis, where our new base is situated. The weather wasn't brilliant but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the people of St Dennis and we were busy applying burns, bruises and cuts to the younger residents when we were called away to our 41st incident of the year - a missing woman at Kit Hill, nr Callington.

Not only did it cut short our Gala Day but those we had left back at the base, had to down paint brushes, get kitted up and make the long drive to Callington.

Luckily, thanks to a great turnout - 14 CSRT members, 5 SARDA dogs & a couple of navigators from our neighbours at DSRT - Tavistock, plus the sterlling work of D&C Police, the lady was found quickly and re-united with her anxious family.

We have given team members a day off for good behaviour and painting will resume after the Bank Holiday.

 

We can at last reveal that Cornwall Search & Rescue Team, after much searching, has finally secured a suitable premises to use as a base.

From 1st September, we will take up the lease on a premises in St Dennis in mid Cornwall. The site is the former Fire Station on Robartes Rd and we are currently in the process of cleaning, painting and equipping our new home.

Although operational for 6 years now, the team has never had a place to call home which has caused us significant difficulties in terms of kit storage and drying, indoor training and team communications.

We are delighted that we will now have somewhere to use as the focus for our activities and hope to become a part of community life in St Dennis. We will be attending this Sunday's St Dennis Village gala to meet our new neighbours and introduce ourselves.
