Last night was the teams AGM at our base in Melrose. Alongside the usual stuff like election/appointment of the committee and trustees, approval of the accounts etc. we were VERY pleased to be able to make two special awards to two special people.

Bill Glennie received his Distinguished Service Award from Scottish Mountain Rescue. Bill has over 33 years of MRT service, which included 9 years serving in various SMR positions, 3 of them as Chair of SMR.

TweedLove GT7 and TVMRT are back 'in 'Tweed-love' again'!! After a few years away, TVMRT were back at the Tweedlove Glentress 7 this weekend providing medical and mountain rescue cover for the event, and a cracking event it was too! The sun was out, the riders were out, the Hawaiian shirts on the riders were out...and best of all, the Cake Stand was doing business at the top of the climb! Thanks to Neil D and the Tweed-Crew for the opportunity to be there - no big dramas this year although one lad we helped was worried that his golf handicap might be affected after his spill....we suggested more time on The Golfie trails! However, was a good day for the riders - the usual cuts and scrapes but no major worries - well done all in that respect!

And from us, a MASSIVE thanks to all who donated on the recent 'Give us a Quid ...or 50p' campaign - this seemed to have hit the spot with some of you...so we are at it again - if you are riding in The Tweed Valley, go on, give us a quid (or 50p) - consider us your 'health' insurance when you bin it big time - 24*7*365, we are there to come pick you and your bike up and get you the care you will likely need - we are all volunteers, many of us are riders too, but we need help keeping the team going for you all (that's costing us 55k per year to do)...so go on...a quid ain't too much to ask for.

Callout #14 of 2026 (3/5/26)

The team were called out on Sunday to help at an incident involving a MTB rider at the Golfie (nr. Innerleithen). The rider did a great job in getting themself to the head of the trail, making the job a lot easier. Working alongside Scottish Ambulance Service and Police Scotland Lothians & Scottish Borders (on quad bikes - they'd been in the area on patrol) the casualty was quickly treated and evacuated.

Calling all mountain bikers riding in the Tweed Valley - we'd love for you to 'Give us a Quid' ! Or even 'Half a Quid' !!
Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team, run by volunteers, 24 hour per day, all year, provides you all with a world class, free and cheery rescue service when you need it, generally after a serious fall on our stunning official and unofficial valley trails. And we do this because we are all bikers, runners, climbers, walkers and hill users like you all and we want to help. However, at £55k per year to run the team, just keeping it as it is, is proving increasingly hard, as our outgoings per year are getting to be more than our income.

This is why we need you, as much as you may need us.

So go on - then next time you are out on your bike, hammering down a trail, think first about getting down the trail, obviously...then about giving us a quid ! (or half a quid, or several quid!!)

If we could get £1 from every rider on the trails in the Valley, think how good that would be ? You've paid thousands for that bike and gear of yours...so go on...'Give us a Quid'
