Attendance at Greenmount Village Party

Today, at the invitation of the organisers of Greenmount Village Party, one Support Group member, one operational team member and two trainees attended this event with our Mountain Rescue Minibus Ambulance on display.

With the road closed between The Miller & Carter and the Cricket Club, the main stalls took place this year on the closed road near Greenmount Cricket Club. All the attractions were attracting many young (and not so young!) villagers.

Our good friends and supporters, Neil & Helen Grundy known as the Holcombe Duo, were there mingling with the villagers and playing their Alphorns for donations to our Team.

Thanks to the generosity of the public attending the event, we received donations totalling £83.23 towards our work.

Thanks to a Supporter of the Team

Back in August 2005 the team was called to assist a climber who had injured himself at Ousel Nest Quarry near Jumbles Reservoir. Iain Bissett went on to make a full recovery, and since then, Iains father, David Bissett, has supported the team over the years.

David recently gave a talk for the Rotary Club of Bolton and kindly chose Bolton Mountain Rescue as the benefactor of the £50 fee.

We would like to thank both David Bissett and the Rotary Club of Bolton for this kind donation.
