Mountain Rescue Base Open Day - Sun 25th Mar
The Glen of Imaal Mountain Rescue Team will be holding an Open Day in the new Mountain Rescue Base in Trooperstown Wood near Laragh, Co. Wicklow. Long/Lat coordinates = 53.013363 (N), - 6.277764 (E)
All are welcome to visit and find out what it looks like and how we'll be using the building. We are very proud as a voluntary body (a registered charity and part of the Irish Red Cross) to have been able to construct and fit out this building to high specifications during a particularly tough financial period. This has only happened because of the many efforts of the community and public in general.
Please come along between 9.30am and 6.00pm and we'll do our best to give you the grand tour! Light refreshments will also be available.
Parking:There's some parking beside the building, but if this is full please park down beside the river (200m from base).
See attached flyer for details.
Regards,
Hugh McLindon, PRO
