WORCESTERSHIRE RAYNET
Mid Severn Valley Group
The group operates in the county of Worcestershire and is part of The Radio Amateurs
Emergency Network, Zone 9. The group participates in numerous charity events throughout
the year providing radio communications on behalf of the user service involved in
the event. E.g. St. John Ambulance, Red Cross, Police, Fire, Ambulance etc. These
events act as self training exercises to prepare ourselves for our role in assisting
County Emergency Planning and the user services in the event of a major civil disaster.
However, we do try to enjoy ourselves at the same time! The group's E-
