Land Rover 130 4x4 Ambulance	Soon it will be time to think about replacing our trusty Land Rover 130 4x4 Ambulance. We currently have two and these really are the best suited vehicles for our needs.

Manual Fill Water Boiler	We all know that everything can be solved with the aid of a good cuppa. When we are working or training at Oggie base we all love a cuppa to sustain us and generally a domestic kettle is fine. However when there is a big rescue or a large group on training the humble kettle does not match up to the job in hand and that's where a water boiler will come to the rescue. It is ideal for countertop use in most catering establishments so it should fit right in at Oggie base. Fully welded stainless steel construction for easy cleaning and greater hygiene. Durable and robust for long working life. What could be more appropriate for all those situations requiring a hot cuppa at the end of a job. Total number: 1	Received with thanks.
Cross cut shredder	Most of the paperwork we generate is confidential to say the least and therefore we shred as much as we can, as soon as we can. Sadly our existing Shredder is no more and we are left to tearing and burning to ensure all our information is destroyed. With a busy operations room downstairs and one upstairs for when things get very busy it would be good to replace our shredders with something more substantial than the domestic ones we had before. If you can help out then it really would make a big difference to us and the way we operate. We would like to thank Caroline Warren for the purchase of this item. Total number: 2	Received with thanks.

We would like to set up several webcams around Oggie Base offering a variety of views, from Tryfan to Pen yr Ole Wen and back along the Ogwen Valley to Capel Curig.
