Congratulations to team member Paul Chisholm and his dog Bella, who as our regular readers will know, are in training with SARDA England to hopefully become a Mountain Rescue Air Scenting Search Dog Team.

Paul with Bella attends regular training in this respect, some local, some thanks to colleagues in Calder Valley SRT and of course the monthly training weekend with SARDA England.

We are pleased to announce today that on this weekends SARDA England training event, held in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales, Paul and Bella have successfully passed their Stage 1 Indication Test, and are thus now termed Stage 2 Trainees.

Well done Paul and Bella, from all your team mates.
