Fife 4x4 response

Morning,

Having spent the last few days happily helping out driving nurses to and from shifts at the local hospitals and helping people that made mistakes in their choice to attempt jouneys I had a look at the 4x4 response organisation wondering what signing up would involve.

I was somewhat surprised to find this on the website. Anybody know why there isn't any organisation in Fife?

If there is history and politics in this then apologies, I don't want to open old wounds - only looking to understand what I can do to be involved.

I have been in Fife for many years. Didn't realise that there was such a formal system in place elsewhere.
The Red Cross used to provide emergency cover in Fife. I was a volunteer driver, and they had a register of 4x4 owners so they could be called upon when necessary.
It is a few years since I was on duty, so may be worth checking if this service is still provided.
Perhaps this may explain the absence of a group in Fife.
If there is a need for a group, then I am certain there would be plenty of support, including myself.

Initially I got involved this week helping my wifes colleagues get to and from Kirkcaldy.

From my limited research It appears that each region is it's own charity/organisation with a mgmt committee etc. Perhaps getting people to take on these roles is the big issue. As a Dad as well as a Cub & Scout leader my time is already stretched I would be reluctant to take on a mgmt/trustee role so can see the difficulties they face.

However more than happy to sign up on a register and work with others to improve my skills to be able to help more. Keith

Probably worth tying two open threads together.......
