PROGRAMMES on the work of the emergency services have become very popular on television – and now Wellington Library Friends group is offering the chance to learn more about the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Service.

Its yellow helicopter is a common sight in the skies above Wellington and the next in the Friends’ series of talks will give the background story behind the organisation which keeps the air ambulance flying.

The talk is at the Library in Fore Street, Wellington, tomorrow (Thursday) at 7.30pm. Admission is £3 (£2 for Friends members).
