Brownies’ Thinking Day donation
77th Bolton St Andrew’s Brownies were recently entertained by our stalwart friends and supporters, Neil & Helen Grundy (The Holcombe Duo) of Tottington, who played music on their alphorns in honour of the Brownies’ Thinking Day, 22nd February.
Lindsey Doyle, Leader-in-Charge of 77th Brownies, explained that Guiding has close links with Switzerland due to the first World Centre being opened there, so they felt that alphorns would be the most appropriate way to mark Thinking Day.
Neil & Helen would not accept any payment for their playing, but asked the Brownie Pack to make a donation to Bolton Mountain Rescue Team – and we are delighted to have received a donation of £30 from St Andrew’s Brownies.
We wish to thank 77th Bolton St Andrew’s Brownies for their kind donation and Neil & Helen Grundy for their generosity in nominating us.

Half Year Figures for Collection Boxes
We are pleased to report an income of £1,358.03 for the first six months of 2018 from our collection boxes located throughout the community in our operational area – from Darwen in the North to Wigan in the West, Broughton in the East and Manchester Airport to the South.
Unfortunately, this figure is over £1,000 less than donated for the same time scale in 2017, so we are very eager to increase the number of places hosting our charity boxes, which are checked and emptied regularly by our volunteer team members. We rely very much on the regular income received from this source to support the maintenance our vehicles, boats and equipment so that our totally voluntary search and rescue service can continue.
Please email: box@boltonmrt.org.uk if you would be willing to host one of our charity boxes. We take this opportunity to express huge thanks to all our existing sites for their continued and valued support and to thank the generous members of the public who drop their coins – and notes – into our boxes.
