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

Control Trailer Commissioned
After much hard work over the summer, by a small group of Team members, our new Control Trailer was commissioned into service this evening. Many people had put a lot of work into this trailer with a special mention to the parents of Team Member Jonathon Holt, who allowed the trailer to be intially stored and worked on at their home address.
It is timely to remind our readership that the refurbishment of this trailer took place thanks to the kind sponsorship of North West Bus & Coach Repairs, who carried out a full external refurbishment of the trailer at minimal cost and also contributed much by way of internal fitment materials.
The cost of the works associated with the trailer have been totally met by a very kind bequest by Beryl and Jack Hainsby, following the sad death of Beryl’s brother, Geoff.
Although now in service, the formal dedication of this trailer will take place on Wednesday evening 31st August 2005 during our Investor’s in People award’s evening.

This Trailer which has been custom built to our exacting requirments, will be a vast improvement over our now decommissioned Control Trailer, which gave many years of sterling service. As you would expect the Trailer is fully equipped with differing radio systems and IT mapping systems, with much thought given to lighting and heating details, as well as immediate power being available from an on-board battery system, independent of the generator that it carries.

A lot of Team members assisted with the work on this trailer, with very special and specific mention being made of Team members Jonathon Holt, John Parish, Dave Healey and Alan Livesey. (Not forgetting the valueable support of Team member Stephanie Holt)
