This weekend was the SARDA Wales AGM. We held the formal meeting at the Vaynol in Nant Peris before retiring to Plas Y Brenin for the dinner and party. Many thanks to all who attended from other teams and well done to Helen Howe who became the new Chair, Shelley who became the new secretary, Kes who continues the role of treasurer and to Rich who has taken on the role of training officer. Here's to the next 12 months!

Search on Snowdon

SARDA Wales have been operational since 8:00pm last night on a major search on Snowdon for a missing walker. Unfortunately the mans body was found at 10:20 this morning on the East Ridge of Snowdon. The man in his twenties, who has not been formally identified, was reported missing yesterday evening after failing to return from a walk in Snowdonia. The family have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this sad time.
We were working jointly with Llanberis MRT, Aberglasylyn MRT, Ogwen MRT, RAF Valley MRT and RAF 22 squadron and had 4 dogs and handlers deployed on the mountain last night and today.

First Search, first find for Kev & Nop

SARDA Wales were operational in Llandudno on Sunday. Well done to Kev & Nop who had their first find on their first search, just one week after passing their assessment. Our Search Managers also did a great job of interviewing friends of the missing person to narrow down the search area and find the missing person, well done to all involved.
