Bank holidays may mean time off for many, but for our crew it can mean even more call outs. On Sunday alone, we attended 11 missions! Here's one of the many we attended, in @TheBoltonNews, all thanks to your support. A huge thank you to @BoltonMRT too! bit.ly/2GwNjqm

Huge thank you to everyone who donated or entered our competition today. We raised just over £540, which is just amazing! All mountain rescue teams are run by volunteers and all the money to keep our teams running has to be raised. We truly appreciate you supporting us. Thanks
Wow there’s so many of you up at Rivington Pike! This is the place to be!!! We’ll be here up until four so pop up and see us. pic.twitter.com/Ihfh9ffx9G
Some of our team are based at Rivington Top Barn. We are on duty for the traditional Good Friday walk up Rivington Pike. It’s getting very busy even if a little damp. We are teaching some of our young visitors CPR. pic.twitter.com/v5Kuq2prFx

Another Team Member supports the Olympics
Following Team Member Martin Banks’s honour of being chosen as an Olympic torch bearer (see website ‘News’ reports dated 23rd June and 18th July) Team Member David Crawford has been selected from a field of quarter of a million applicants to be one of 70,000 volunteers working at this summer’s Olympic Games.
David will be working as a Team Leader at the Olympic Stadium. His team will be ‘front of house’ responsible for meeting and greeting spectators, checking tickets, directing people to their seats, managing the flow of people into and out of the venue and ensuring everyone enjoys a safe and secure games. The volunteers are the ‘face of the games’ and are expected to remain helpful, cheerful and enthusiastic even if it is cold, damp and raining! Not that different from being in the Bolton MRT!
He will also have to deal with any problems as they arise such as missing people, lost property or minor accidents. In the unlikely event of a major security incident he will assist the process of clearing the venue and moving people to safety.
David said ‘It is an exciting opportunity to be involved with the greatest sporting event this country has ever staged. My training and experience with the Mountain Rescue Team should stand me in good stead for dealing with any emergencies that might arise’.
The athletics events start at the Olympic Stadium on the 3rd August, and David will be on duty from then until after the closing ceremony ten days later.
