CAVE RESCUE ORGANISATION CELEBRATES 75TH
ANNIVERSARY
|
This year, the Cave Rescue Organisation (CRO)
celebrates its 75th Anniversary of becoming the first active
cave rescue team in the world.
Based in Clapham in the Yorkshire Dales, the
organisation became operational in February 1935 and was
formed following the rescue of a caver late the previous year.
Today they are one of only three teams in the UK who perform
Cave Rescues as well as Mountain Rescues.
Since 1935, the CRO have attended more than
2,266 incidents. This has involved 3,320 people (aged from 5
months to 87 years). During 2009, they attended a record 88
incidents, of which 59 involved fell walking, 15 caving, 5
climbing, 6 animals and 3 others. It is anticipated that they
will rescue their 3400th individual in the coming months.
The CRO is a charitable organization and is
dependent on public donations and fundraising events such as
the sponsored Three Peaks Challenge on 7th August
2010. The volunteers are all experienced cavers, climbers and
walkers who are on call at all times day and night, 365 days a
year, and give their time freely to help those in need of
assistance. |
Special Brew
available from 5th June 2010 |
Many members have given over 25 years of
service with some over 40 years and one member over 50 years
continuous service. On the team is even the granddaughter of
one of rescuers who was actually on the rescue in 1934, which
was the catalyst for the CRO to be formed.
The camaraderie of such long serving members
has played a major part in the team dealing with the highs and
lows of their work. On several occasions they have had to deal
with upto six incidents in one day and some occasions four
incidents simultaneously. Indeed a large number of the team
spent two weeks helping at Lockerbie when that tragedy
occurred.
To
celebrate the occasion of their 75th Anniversary,
the CRO are having an Open Day at their Headquarters in
Clapham on 5th June 2010. There will be various
events such as a rescue race in the river, an all day BBQ,
media show, equipment demonstrations and much more. At 1.00pm,
they will officially open of their new £130,000 extension that
was added last year to update their training, control and
storage facilities.
Award winning local Dent Brewery will be
brewing a special beer called Rescewe that will be available
on the day and sold in pubs and shops across the region. The
CRO will receive a donation from the brewery for every pint
and bottle sold.
Jack Pickup,
Chairman of CRO said "The Open Day is intended as a thank you
to all of the team, their families, the local community and
all who support our work. Everyone is welcome to come along
and join in the fun and become a Friend of CRO. It would be
great to see previous CRO members and anyone who has been
rescued by the team – please come along with your rescue
stories and any press cuttings and photographs."
