Last year MCR were invited to give a talk to students at Bridgwater College on MCR and cave rescue. The students were all on a 999 Academy course, and had presentations from various emergency services during their course. MCR members gave a presentation on the 2018 Thai cave rescue, and then held a practical session showing how casualties are packaged into stretchers to safely move them whilst underground. The session ended with a stretcher race.
