Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

10th August 2012

Way back in August 2005, Iain Bisset whilst climbing with his father and fellow climber David Bisset, at Ousel’s Nest Quarry, Chapeltown, suffered injuries in a climbing accident, to which the team and the ambulance service were called.
Iain thankfully went on to make a full recovery, and went back to rock climbing at a high standard, and since this time has also travelled abroad extensively. Since the accident, Iain, his family and particularly David his father, have become valued, stalwart and very much appreciated, regular supporters and friends of the team.

Today we are very pleased to have received another kind and thoughtful donation of £100.00, from David Bisset, marking the anniversary of his son’s fall and subsequent rescue.

In his letter accompanying his kind donation to the team, David passed on his good wishes to all in the team with the following kind comments;

“Dear Team, As it is August again we remember you with gratitude, and here is a donation to keep things on the move. It may be seven years ago, but we remember that day and your assistance very clearly.”

“Iain for once is back in the country, having spent the last 10 months teaching in Somaliland and travelling in Ethiopia. Good wishes to all, David.”

As ever in turn the whole team membership extends its thanks to David and his family for their continuing appreciated, sincere thoughtful kindness and support of the Bolton MRT.
