Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Many of our members were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through the DofE Award. The picture shows members meeting the Duke in 1979. pic.twitter.com/SSTC30CcPB
At 4.56pm yesterday we were requested by NWAS to assist with a 22yo male who had fallen at Tiger’s Clough. The team treated him with pain relief & placed a vacuum splint around the injured ankle, then stretchered him to the waiting ambulance.We wish him a speedy recovery. pic.twitter.com/ZEbrt4vaLT
1/2 From all of us at BMRT we would just like to thank every one of you that donated to us this weekend. It was a hard decision for us not to do our usual Easter meet and great around Rivington but for the safety of our team members, we decided against it. pic.twitter.com/xkNOo8equX
It's been a busy start to 2021 for the team. Three months in & we are already on our way to more callouts than we had last year. If you can support us in our work, please feel free to donate via boltonmrt.enthuse.com/#!/ #BoltonMRT #Volunteers #Donate #Rescues #BeenBusy pic.twitter.com/KhDxLT92N8
1/ Today is usually a busy and important day for the team. With so many people visiting the Rivington area in particular, we would usually have our displays set up around the area to help educate people about outdoor safety. pic.twitter.com/0iKNZaqWU1

❓ Did you know that moorland and wildfires can be started in a number of ways? Sadly, many are started deliberately, however, some can break out by people being careless with barbecues, campfires or not disposing of cigarettes properly 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WDHdEHFcXA

Annual General Meeting
Our AGM was held on Wednesday, 19th March, courtesy of the 25th Bolton Scout Group, who allowed us to use their HQ for the second year running for this important team meeting. The presentation of Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medals and MRC Casualty Care Certificates, to those who had missed the Bolton Mayor’s reception, due to being in Scotland at the time, started proceedings. It was then onto our Team Leaders, Chairman and Treasurers reports. Both our Team Leader and Chairman commented on the developments within the team over the last year, and in particular our M2002 Commonwealth Games involvement. Both also reported the time was now right to replace our ageing minibus with a more appropriate new vehicle, as well as introducing a complete new team personal clothing kit. (in MRC corporate red!). They both also mentioned that we should embrace the opportunity, given the healthy state of our finances, (and assuming GMP do indeed fund and replace our radio kit with new high band equipment) to purchase a Control Vehicle, in place of our existing Control Trailer.
Garry Rhodes was re-elected as Team Leader for his 15th year of consecutive service in this demanding post. Geoff Seddon was re-elected Deputy Leader, alongside the re-election of Tony McNally as our Chairman (both are now in their 12th year of consecutive service in these posts). Ann Shaw remains our Training Officer, but was undergoing some training herself at the time, being up in Scotland on a winter climbing week centred on Ben Nevis. The re-election of all other post holders, (except for Mike Marsh who stood down as Communications and Lighting officer after many years of dedicated service) says a lot for the stability of the team, and the success of having the right people in the right posts ! (if you are wondering who took on Mike’s role, it was Dave Healey, our Secretary, ever a glutton for team work, and who now holds two team council positions – but only one vote, as our chairman was quick to remind him!).
