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

A very warm welcome to our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ to former team operational member Dave Rees
Today, Friday the 13th, turned out to contradict the proverb and be lucky after all as our President Bob Hutchinson welcomed to our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ former team member Dave (David) Rees.
Dave was a Call Out list member from the summer of 1983 until the summer of 1993 (having take a sabbatical living in Oxford summer 1987-autumn 1989). During his later years of membership David held the office of Assistant Team Leader for a short while, he was also our Secretary at one time.
Having started the tour with a look around our new Land Rovers and a little reminiscence around the old equipment on the walls “Oh the Thomas Rigid and Split mountain rescue stretchers, I’ve carried that a few miles” Dave commented, a cup of tea was in order whilst the storeroom and office/control room were viewed and after that into the main lounge/lecture area.
Dave was quite impressed with the way the team had progressed over the years.
Before leaving Dave asked about our Support Group and expressed a big interest in joining, and once more contributing to the team.
Dave has asked to come along to our next Support Group meeting in January 2014 to which he will be made most welcome.
