6 . Great Western Air Ambulance (GWAA) – proposed visit by TRC Members

GWAC wee very grateful for the £2,050 we presented to them on the evening of our AGM.

“As a way to show our gratitude to the club, we would like to invite anyone interested to an invite-only base tour. This tour offers a unique chance to discover the lifesaving work we provide. Attendees expect a tour of the airbase, learn about a typical day for our Critical Care Team, and potentially meet the crew and view the helicopter and critical care car up close. These events shed light on the charity’s operations, covering everything from lifesaving missions to the advanced equipment and interventions we provide.”

They have a maximum attendee limit of 30. If this event fills up and others wish to attend, we have additional dates throughout the year that I can add them to.  Please complete the Google Form available here for you to register your interest in a visit on a date to be determined. https://forms.gle/ygBkmYE9eWGvDDt98
