Mobile Control Unit

We now have a well equiped Mobile Control Unit which was funded for us by Dumfries and Galloway Council, the unit gets quite a lot of use and there is usually no shortage of volunteers to work control.

The unit gets used on most of our major events such as the Kirkcudbright and Stranraer half marathons, the Galloway Hills and Solway Coast Rallys and of course quite a few of the S.E.R.C. riding events........read more

Dumfries and Galloway Raynet Today

Dumfries and Galloway Raynet is moving from strength to strength, over the past three or four years membership has doubled and we now have 25 members of which between ten and fifteen are available for group exercises.

Afterwards Mrs Lillian Dent the WRVS organiser asked Alex if the local amateurs could have provided some kind of radio link between the two and Alex decided then that Dumfries and Galloway Raynet should be established............. read more
