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

❓ 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

This Dedication and Blessing Ceremony will be held by the Bishop of Bolton, Chris Edmondson.
Following this will be the presentation of some special awards, including long service awards to the team membership.

The timetable for the day’s activities is:
All guests present are invited to stay as long as they wishe would like to take this opportunity to invite our considerable number of team friends and supporters, benefactors and colleague representatives from neighbouring mountain rescue and search and rescue teams to this very special day for us, to witness proceedings and to view the team on display.
To contact personally all the supporters and friends of our team would be a major undertaking, so through the medium of our website and associated Facebook and Twitter feeds, we would like to extend such an invitation in this manner.
The venue is our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, situated within the NWAS Headquarters complex of Ladybridge Hall, Chorley New Road, Bolton, BL1 5DD.
Our building is the former stables / garage block to the main Hall itself.
There is ample car parking on site, with team members on hand to guide visitors to such.
If you wish to attend, then all we ask is that you contact our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE by email at tl@boltonmrt.org.uk copied also to our Secretary Gillian Gregory at secretary@boltonmrt.org.uk so that we may make provision for your attendance and arrange catering for you.
We look forward to seeing our friends and supporters on the day, for which we have booked wall to wall sunshine and warm temperatures!
