90th Birthday congratulations to Mr Roland Pilkington and his kindness in making a very large donation to Bolton Mountain Rescue Team

We are extremely pleased to announce the very kind and thoughtful receipt of a donation of £500.00 in lieu of presents, at the recent birthday celebrations of Mr Roland Pilkington of Horwich, Bolton.

Involving a presentation on the work of the team by very long serving and experienced team member Mike Marsh, a neighbour of Mr Pilkington, this is a wonderful and very appreciated supportive gift to the team.

All in Bolton Mountain Rescue Team wish Mr Roland Pilkington belated 90th birthday wishes on this wonderful milestone in his life.
