THE original members of the Tintagel First Responder Group have been awarded the Queen's Jubilee Medal in recognition of their dedicated voluntary service to the local community.

Since the group's formation in April 2004, they have attended over 700 emergency call-outs.

Even though there are now only four of the original twelve, they still endeavour to provide twenty four-hour cover, seven days a week.

For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, please see this week's edition of the 'Post'.
