Mendip Cave Rescue is pleased to be hosting this years BCRC Medical Conference, which is to be held in Priddy Village Hall over the weekend of the 13th and 14th June 2026. This weekend is primarily aimed at cave rescue team members who have a medical qualification - either those who are health care professionals, or who hold a MREW RRMT (Remote Rescue Medical Technician) qualification - but is open to all members of cave rescue teams. More details are available on our website, including a link to purchase tickets.
Following on from the enjoyable quiz held in January in previous years, Mendip Cave Rescue will be running another Cavers Quiz Night at the Hunters Lodge Inn, Priddy on Saturday 17th January 2025, starting at 19:30. As usual, all questions will be (vaguely) caving related, and entries are welcomed from teams of up to six people per team, with a cost of £2 per team member. Any proceeds from the evening will go to MCR.
MCR Quiz Night, 17th January 2026 at the Hunters Lodge Inn
Last year MCR were invited to give a talk to students at Bridgwater College on MCR and cave rescue. The students were all on a 999 Academy course, and had presentations from various emergency services during their course. MCR members gave a presentation on the 2018 Thai cave rescue, and then held a practical session showing how casualties are packaged into stretchers to safely move them whilst underground. The session ended with a stretcher race.
