At the kind invitation of Brenda Nixon, Co-Ordinator for The Bolton West Stroke Group, our Team President, Bob Hutchinson, went along in our BM4 Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulance to Horwich Resource Centre, Beaumont Road, Horwich to meet the members and tell them a little about the work of Bolton Mountain Rescue Team. Bob also told the group how the team was founded and held a question and answer session.

Unfortunately due to a sudden downpour it was not possible for the group to go outside to view the vehicle and equipment, but the group were most impressed by the contents of the ’trauma sack’.

At the end of his visit, the members present made an impromptu collection and presented Bob with the generous total of £19.91.

Brenda also promised a more formal donation from Group funds would be sent in the near future, which is very much appreciated.
