Today the team received a large and very generous donation from Horwich RMI Harriers and Athletics Club, following our provision of Standby Rescue Cover for their Winter Hill Fell Race on Sunday 8th February this year. See ’news item’ dated Sunday 8th February 2009 for a comprehensive report on this event.

The Race Organiser Tony Varley in a kind letter with the tremendous £300.00 donation thanked the team for its valued help with this event.

We have been associated with this event since its inception, this being its 27th Year, and we are proud of our long involvement and equally grateful for the support we have always received from the race organisers.

Next years Winter Hill Fell Race is provisionally scheduled for Sunday 14th February 2010, and as ever the Bolton MRT will be attending to provide its fullest support to this strenuous local fell race.
