23,000 and a relay to Birmingham
Category: News
Sunday 22nd May was quite a day. It started off with a scheduled Blue Light Course for seven more riders and whilst that was on we heard that we had just completed 23,000 call-outs. Controller Phil Russell and Rider Dave Bennett. Then at 17:42 nearing the end of her day shift, our oldest and dearest Controller Brenda Taylor received a call from Royal Preston Hospital asking if we could get an urgent sample to Birmingham City Hospital for analysis. After a few calls Brenda managed to get Bryan Evans to collect it and then arranged with Shropshire & Staffordshire Blood Bikes to meet up with Bryan at Keele Services on the M6 and they delivered it to Birmingham. Quite a day and thanks to SSBB for their help.
