General news

Early this morning Team Member Ged Clarke met up with colleagues from the Police, Ambulance and Fire Services, as well as other voluntary services with Mountain Rescue represented by both the Bolton and Oldham Teams, to form a convoy of emergency services to escort a torch around the region, with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of mental wellbeing in the emergency services.

The convoy travelled around the M60 before passing the torch on to the next region.

Last weekend the team received an email from Team Member Phil Crook apologising for not attending training recently, he revealed he had eloped with his partner, Joanne, on Thursday 27th April to Gretna Green to tie the knot.

All at Bolton Mountain Rescue would like to wish Phil and Joanne all the best for the future.

We are pleased to learn that Deane Church Ladies Guild has chosen Bolton Mountain Rescue Team as one of two charities to support.

They are organising a Coffee Morning to be held at The Church Centre, Junction Road, Deane, Bolton, from 10:00 to 12:00 on Saturday 10th June 2017, from which our charity will benefit.

Many thanks to their members for their kind support of our work and we wish them every success with this event.

We recently learnt that the incoming President of Bolton HF Walking Club, Mrs Edwina Freeman, has chosen Bolton Mountain Rescue Team as one of two charities to support during her year of office, the other charity being Parkinson’s UK, as Edwina has personal experience of the illness.

We are very grateful for this support of our work and wish to thank Edwina for choosing our organisation to benefit in this way.
