Joining fellow MPSRO (Mid-Pennine Search & Rescue Organisation) team members from Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team, Rossendale & Pendle Mountain Rescue Team, Calder Valley Search & Rescue Team and Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team, 13 people in all, the course was facilitated by Sally Seed from Stoneleigh Communications, aided by Steve Howe and cameraman Dave Freeborn.
Two scenarios were set up, a radio interview and an interview to camera, with each of the participants able to have a go at each and gain constructive feedback from the facilitators and fellow participants.
The final scenarios involved how to tackle difficult interviews, which three people were coached by a team on what to say.
The team would like to thank Sally, Steve and Dave for the informative training session and NWAS HART for the use of their facilities.
Bank holidays may mean time off for many, but for our crew it can mean even more call outs. On Sunday alone, we attended 11 missions! Here's one of the many we attended, in @TheBoltonNews, all thanks to your support. A huge thank you to @BoltonMRT too! bit.ly/2GwNjqm
Huge thank you to everyone who donated or entered our competition today. We raised just over £540, which is just amazing!
All mountain rescue teams are run by volunteers and all the money to keep our teams running has to be raised. We truly appreciate you supporting us. Thanks
Wow there’s so many of you up at Rivington Pike! This is the place to be!!! We’ll be here up until four so pop up and see us. pic.twitter.com/Ihfh9ffx9G
Some of our team are based at Rivington Top Barn. We are on duty for the traditional Good Friday walk up Rivington Pike. It’s getting very busy even if a little damp. We are teaching some of our young visitors CPR. pic.twitter.com/v5Kuq2prFx
