Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

6th August 2014

Today we are very pleased to announce a wonderfully kind donation of £100.00 from our long standing friend and supporter David Bisset and his family.

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.

In a letter accompanying this latest very generous donation, David states;

“Bolton Mountain Rescue Team,

Usual August greetings to all the team, and here is a donation in recognition of that day now 9 years ago.

Iain is due back in a few days following 3 months in a refugee camp in South Sudan, working for Medecins Sans Frontieres as a logistician.

All good wishes David Bissett.”

As ever the entire team membership extends its sincere thanks to David Bisset and his family, for such continued and very appreciated kind and thoughtful support of the Bolton Mountain Rescue Team.
