This evening our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE and yesterdays Exercise ‘NewStaffBolt 1’ organiser, very experienced Bolton MRT member Gyles Denn, received the following email from Paul Keen, Deputy Chairman of Staffordshire Search and Rescue Team;

“I would like to thank you both on behalf of SSART for a fantastic day. Every one of your members made us feel very welcome and it was great to see Mountain Rescue and Lowland Rescue (and indeed other agencies) working so well together.”

“I will be catching up with our attendees this Wednesday so will relay any feedback.”

“That’s a cracking Team and setup you have in Bolton and I look forward to working with you again some time.”

“Best regards, Paul Keen, Deputy Chairman, Staffordshire Search & Rescue Team (SSART)”
