Mark was given donation for the Team in the form of a cheque for £50 and the proceeds of a collection after the talk amounting to £70. The total of £120 is a smashing contribution to our work and we extend our grateful thanks to the committee and all the members of the group.

Thanks to the generosity of ASDA’s kind customers, we collected a fantastic total of £230.74 towards our search and rescue work.  We would like to thank the management of ASDA Farnworth for granting permission for our collection and making us welcome on the day, and, of course, huge thanks to the many wonderful shoppers who paused to talk to our collectors and drop their donations into our buckets.

Unfortunately, this figure is over £1,000 less than donated for the same time scale in 2017, so we are very eager to increase the number of places hosting our charity boxes, which are checked and emptied regularly by our volunteer team members. We rely very much on the regular income received from this source to support the maintenance of our vehicles, boats and equipment so that our totally voluntary search and rescue service can continue.

Please email: box@boltonmrt.org.uk if you would be willing to host one of our charity boxes.  We take this opportunity to express huge thanks to all our existing sites for their continued and valued support and to thank the generous members of the public who drop their coins – and notes – into our boxes.

Other displays on the day included Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Blood bikes, Fire cadets, Lancashire Ambulance service, Poppy appeal and Lancashire police.

We had many members of the general public asking questions on what we do and how the fire was on Winter hill.

The team was very grateful for the interest shown in our work and by all who visited us and thankful for the fantastic donations totalling £94.29.

15 team members attended this incident alongside colleagues from Greater Manchester Police.

Team members assisted GMP with their enquiries and ultimately used a stretcher to carry the person 400m across the moor to a waiting NWAS ambulance.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of person involved at this very sad time.

The MREW Annual Review 2018 gives a taste of what mountain rescue teams across England and Wales have been up to over the past 12 months.

The MREW Incident Report 2017 report outlines the type of incidents the teams have been involved with. There were only 9 days in 2017 without a Mountain Rescue callout.

In the card was written:

Please find enclosed £135 collected in lieu of flowers at my fathers Derek Raymond Elrington recent funeral. He loved the mountains and the local moors. We thought it was appropriate to donate to the team.

We would like to pass on our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Mr Elrington, and thank all who donated to the team in memory of Derek Raymond Elrington.
