Each
year the team participates in a number of organised
events which are used as opportunities to raise public awareness
of our service and where possible to raise funds. Typically
during the year we will participate in a number of town shows
and carnivals, the police open day, various challenge walks
and races and numerous talks and lectures. Each event we attend
cannot be listed here, but where we have good notice we will
endeavour to post our attendance and link to the organisation's
website.
We
have two "regular" events which we have
attended annually since their inception. These are the Tal-y-bont
Trial and Black Mountains Roundabout, both events are jointly
organised by the Newport
Outdoor Group (YHA) and Brecon Mountain Rescue Team. NOG
organise the administration of the events, while BMRT provides
the safety cover on the hill on the day. During the past 20
years over £20k has been raised for team funds by this
joint venture. Both are challenge walks and all of the funds
raised by the Black Mountains Roundabout are donated to the
team.
