Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

19th February 2009

This evening the team played host to a visit at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ by seven members of Bolton and District Round Table, including their Chairman Craig Knights.

On hand to meet the Round Tablers was Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE and long serving Team Call Out list member Chris Tennant. Their visit was arranged to introduce the team to Bolton and District Round Table members, as Craig Knights has very kindly chosen to support the team as his Chairmans’ Charity this year.


A very interesting and informative night was the comment heard from all seven representatives present from Bolton and District Round Table, who were amazed at the work we do in the team, and in the wide range of search and rescue equipment and skills we have at our disposal.

Craig and his fellow Round Tablers will be joining the team on exercise soon to get a more practical ’hands on’ experience of what we do, keep watching the website for news of their involvement in one of our exercises ! They are also interested in volunteering to be ’exercise bodies’ for our trainee search dogs to find.

Garry and Chris would like to thank the Round Tablers present tonight for their obvious interest in what the team is about and their enthusiasm for wishing to support the team.
