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

Team presented with a special award at GMP Bolton Police Annual Divisional Awards Evening
This evening four Team members representing the entire team membership were honoured invited guests at the Greater Manchester Police, Bolton Division, Annual Awards Ceremony.
This prestigious evening was held in the Platinum Suite, De Veres Whites Hotel, De Havilland Way, Bolton, within the Bolton Wanderers Football Club Reebok Stadium, and commenced at 18.30hrs.
This annual event is held to mark the very best of GMP Bolton Division’s personal and team achievements, and recognises some of the outstanding work accomplished over the previous twelve months not only by GMP Officers and staff, but also by Partner Agencies and members of the public who work in partnership with GMP.
Present from the team were our Life Vice President Alan James, who was one of the teams original founder members in 1968 and still continues to be a full operational member forty five years later.
Our Team Leader , now in his twenty fifth year of leading the team, Garry Rhodes MBE was present, alongside Jess Ellsmore, currently our youngest operational member at 20 years old, and who alongside our Team Secretary Gillian Gregory who also attended, represented the many women in our team.
Gillian Gregory was also present to represent our valued Support Group membership.
The opening address was provided by GMP Chief Superintendent David Hull, Divisional Commander, Bolton Division, who welcomed the Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton to the proceedings, and thanked the generous sponsors of this evening; Bolton Wanderers Football Club, Coleman Milne (Who readers will recall built our new now in service, Incident Control Vehicle earlier this year) and Carrs Pasties.
Chief Superintendent David Hull then went on to mention the exceptionally high standard of those nominated for awards this year.
With his opening address over, which included many quips and jokes, the two Masters of Ceremonies for the evening then took over; Inspector Rick Brook and Inspector Andy Sidebottom.
Together they announced each award category, and where applicable the runner up and the ‘winner’ of each category, with many tales of outstanding work, bravery, dedication and commitment being told of those nominated, all with more than a hint of good humour to lighten proceedings.
The following Awards were presented, with the runners up receiving a Framed Certificate, and the winners all receiving a beautiful engraved glass Award.
Next was our nomination, which was full of praise for the work of the team within the Bolton community and in assistance to GMP Bolton Division.
We were delighted and very honoured to be announced the winners in this category, and received our beautiful engraved glass award from Chief Superintendent David Hull with his personal thanks.
Jess Ellsmore, as our youngest team operational member accepted the award on behalf of the team.
The final award, a humorous award, the Dogberry Award, went to Sgt Helen (‘Woodbine’) Chadwick, we’ll not mention wrong cars and Chief Constables!!
Chief Superintendent David Hull gave a closing address, which was followed by a great hot buffet and much socialising.
Garry, Alan , Jess and Gillian would like to thank GMP PC Jane Wilcock for her part in our nomination, and GMP Bolton Division for honouring us in this memorable way.
We would would also like to thank the sponsors of our Award, Coleman Milne, and particularly Graham CLow, Emergency Services Vehicles Sales Director of Coleman Milne, who was present this evening with his wife, sat at the same table as our representatives.
All who received a nomination and award this evening deserves the fullest praise for their valued and appreciated commitment and dedication to helping and assisting with keeping the Bolton community a safer place to live in.
Our Award as GMP Bolton Division Volunteer of the Year will now take pride of place in our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ.
