**************************************


We were called out by Bolton Mountain Rescue Team on Monday 2nd July to assist in a search for a missing 74 year old male in the Horwich area. 6 team members were able to attend to assist in the search, with a negative result. We were lucky in that all the bad weather had blown itself out before we arrived and we only had to contend with very wet ground.


On Tuesday 3rd July a further call was received to continue the above search, and this time 12 members were able to attend. Some of Mondays areas were re-searched and some new areas were added. Again the weather was kind to us and it didn't start to rain until about 5 minutes before we completed our final search area. Again there were no sightings.


On Wednesday 4th July following new information we were again called to assist with the above search and 10 members were available. This time we were based at the Bolton Mountain Rescue HQ in Ladybridge Hall. Again the weather was kind to us being dry with sunny spells even though there was a cool wind. We were tasked to search the area around a reservoir plus a golf course and adjoining wooded area. (No one walked on the greens). Again there was no trace of the missing male. The search has currently been stood down until any further information is found.

Sunday 29th July 2007 The Team has received this message from the family: "On behalf of my family I write to thank you for your wonderful help in the search for my husband John Nuttall. We would very much like to make a donation to your organisation and ask if you can email back an address to which it can be sent. We are deeply grateful for your tireless efforts and dedication in trying to find John. Yours sincerely. Linda Nuttall."
A reply was sent to Mrs Nuttall, and a very generous donation of £100 was received shortly after which will be used in Mr Nuttall's memory. A card was sent to the family extending the Team's sympathy in their sad loss.

The Team held a bag packing/collection day at ASDA Westbrook, Warrington. Ten members were available to help.
By the end of the day and due to the generosity of the shoppers we had managed to collect the magnificent sum of £595.29
This will be spent on updating or adding to our safety equipment.

One of our members, Damian, works for Brunner Mond in Northwich. The employees have their own Charity Fund which enables them to support worthy causes, and due to Damian’s canvassing support on our behalf, they made a very kind donation of £500 which will be spent adding further medical equipment to the Team’s inventory to assist anyone we are called to help. There was a photograph in the Warrington Guardian dated 16th August showing some of the Team members.

The cheque presented tonight was for the sum of £770. Our great thanks go to the Warrington Methodist Ladies Group for their kindness.
