Today our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE received from Chris Griffiths of NEWSAR Team (North East Wales Search and Rescue), a Trainee member on the recent Joint Foundation Course in Mountain Rescue a kind letter of thanks regarding the weekend course, some extracts of which read:

“I thought I would just drop the Bolton MRT a note of thanks for a very informative and enjoyable weekend at Bibbys’.

As a recently retired teacher I was more than appreciative of the organisation that had clearly gone into the event. I know, from experience that as the organiser you only only enjoy when it is all over!

Lectures, practical’s – everything in fact was at the right pace and intensity and provided a brilliant insight into the demands and pleasures of being involved in the MR fraternity.

Thanks once again for a great experience.”
