Mike said ‘I’m truly honoured to receive this recognition, but in reality this is for the entire HB4X4R team that worked so hard. They are undoubtedly the best bunch of volunteers that I have ever had the privilege of working with and they should all be very proud.’ 🧡🎉
HB4X4R's former vice-chair Mike Sutton has been recognised with a BEM in the Queen's New Year Honours 🏅🎉

Some of our amazing #responders have been out both last night and this evening supporting the Ultimate Clarendon way walk for the fantastic @naomiandjack Salisbury Cathedral to Winchester Cathedral and back again. Well done to all the walkers. Amazing work. @4x4response
That’s it for another year at @Carfestevent. Lots of flat tyres and batteries with only a couple of vehicles requiring breakdown services. Our thanks to our amazing team of volunteers who did a fantastic job all weekend. #carfestsouth2021#notjustsnow@4x4response

Belated Deployment Notification: Sunday saw several of our members deployed to @festivalwickham to assist with traction control in two areas of the festival. We have had some fantastic feedback from members of the public that we met, and we hope to be back next year.
