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
Forty Team members, including Full Team members, Trainees & Probationers, & one member of our Support Group attended our AGM this evening and our Election of Council Officers. Proceedings were opened by our outgoing Chairman Tony McNally who besides standing down as Chairman at the meeting, a post he has held continuously from September 1992, also marked his retirement from the Call Out list membership at 64 years old after 14 years 11 months service to the Team.
Tony read out a report which reflected on the past history of the Team and his time as Chairman and also gave some thoughts to the future of the Team.
This was followed by our Team Leader, Garry Rhodes’ annual report which reflected on the trials and tribulations of the previous 12 months.
The final report presented was made by our outgoing Treasurer Mark Scott, who happily reported on the fantastically healthy state of our finances, which go from strength to strength.
Our election of Officers followed which saw Chris Moody, a Team member since 1995 elected for his first year of office as Chairman.
Our Team Leader, Garry Rhodes aged 48, was re-elected to the Team Leader post for the 18th consecutive year, with a similar re-election of Geoff Seddon aged 21+, Garry’s Deputy since 1992.
Amongst other Officers re-elected and newly elected to the Council was Team member of 5 years’ experience Neil Aspinall elected to the post of Equipment Officer (Vehicles).
With the retirement from the Team of Tony McNally and Ann Shaw, they were both elected as Life Vice Presidents of the Team.
All the Officer posts elected this year can be viewed under the Membership area of the website.
Particular thanks were noted to our auditors Howard, Matthews, Lloyd of Bolton who, as ever, gave us tremendous support in auditing our Team accounts.
At the end of the meeting with her retirement from the Team, after sixteen years and three months sterling service, Ann Shaw presented to the Team a fantastic gift and momento to give thanks for her wonderful time in the Team. This took the form of a Limited Edition Grivel Mont Blanc wooden shafted curved pick ice axe, numbered 10/100 production run. This fantastic gift is mounted, along with its certificate, in a beautiful wooden and glass case and has been hung, taking pride of place in our base.
