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

Wednesday night weekly meeting, and members are busy checking team kit and equipment, whilst others reviewed our Constitution
This evening, at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, twenty seven operational members, and one Support Group member, spent the evening carrying out team equipment checks, some arising from recent incidents, where equipment had to be washed and cleaned.
Specifically, an audit of our personally issued water search and rescue PPE clothing was carried out, checks and maintenance work was carried out on our SAR Boat and its associated equipment, and many minor equipment repairs and checks were carried out.
We currently have one of our three newer Land Rovers immobile, with a transmission issue, which is with our friendly garage – Frank Hulton Motors of Farnworth, for repair, and so provision was made this evening for our Ford Transit Minibus to carry search and rescue equipment full time as an interim measure, until Bolton Mobile 1 is repaired.
It has not been a good week for our Land Rovers, with our ‘Bolton Mobile 2’ scheduled to have some electrical checks on it this Friday, 22nd November 2016.
Six further team members, under our Chairman Craig Lamb, held a meeting this evening, to further review our Constitution, which has been an on going project since our previous Chairman Ken Oakes, commenced a review in 2012, with further work carried out principally by our Chairman Craig Lamb, Treasurer Martin Banks and Mark Scott, all under the direction and with discussion at our Council Meetings over the last year.
Our ‘new’ version, revised Constitution will now be put forward to the team for approval at a Special General Meeting to be held at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ on Wednesday evening, 2nd March 2016, commencing at 20.00hrs.
