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

Initial reports point to our Spring Fayre being a total success.
Today our Support Group held its first Spring Fayre, at St Mary’s Church Hall, Horwich, and initial reports are that it was a total success.
With Support Group member Johanne Lamb at the helm, our entire Support Group has been organising this event for months, and all turned up today with a multitude of other helpers.
A very wide variety of stalls were on hand to the many visitors, which included a guest visit by the Mayor of Horwich.
It was nice to see a large number of ex team members on the stalls, including Ted Morgan, Daine Blakeley and her mother, Geoff Yates, Gill Leigh, and Mike Williamson.
Towards the end of the afternoon, members from our Call Out list membership visited the Spring Fayre direct from providing standby rescue cover at the Belmont Fell Races, just in time to hear the results of our grand raffle in association with the Spring Fayre. Big thanks to Support Group member Iain Clarkson for organising this.
The Call Out List membership wishes to extend its thanks to the following Support Group members for turning up and helping out with todays event; Team President Bob Hutchinson and his wife Janet, Iain Clarkson, Diane Blakeley and her mum, Howard and Teresa Gilliland, Gillian Gregory, Dorothy Jenkins, Hazel Kennedy and her mum, Johanne Lamb and her sister and her son, Gill Leigh, Ali Shepperd and Tina Tennant.

Even family members were “volunteered” to help, here is Hazel Kennedys nephew, Jordan, and Elaines Gillilands nephew, Justyn, wondering how their aunts talked them in to this!
