This evening at the conclusion of our Special General Meeting, congratulations were made by our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE to our current Team Chairman Craig Lamb, aged 56 of Swinton, on his attaining two decades of dedicated and very committed service to Bolton Mountain Rescue Team.

Craig joined the team on 11th May 1994, bringing his unique sense of humour and friend to all approach, alongside his experiences in the coal mining industry as a Mines Rescuer.

Craig has never waivered in his steadfast commitment and total dedication as a team member, and previous to his current role as our elected Team Chairman, has served the team in the past as our Training Officer.

Craig maintains an active role in the team, as a member of our water team and also as one of our emergency response drivers, alongside his considerable operational experience.

To mark this wonderful occasion Garry passed over to Craig a Certificate of Long Service to Mountain Rescue from MPSRO, our regional body.
