Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

17th November 2004

Readers of our website will be aware of the recent purchase of lifejackets for every single team member, made possible by the generous grant support from Bolton MBC, with additional financial support from our valued friend “DT”. Today 4 team members and search dog Chi met with the leader of Bolton Council, at the appropriate location of Doffcocker reservoir, Bolton, where the official handover of the lifejackets took place, fully covered by the Press.

Considering all 4 members were wearing lifejackets, along with the special jacket made for our search dog Chi, it was perhaps appropriate that the weather accompanying this press day was torrential horizontal driving rain.

Please watch out in both the Bolton Evening News and the Manchester Evening News for news coverage and photographs of this event.
