Galway Mountain Rescue Team (GMRT) will be on the streets of Galway City this coming Saturday, November 6, for its annual fundraising bucket collection. Team members will be stationed on Shop Street and at the Briar Hill Shopping Centre throughout the day.

Galway Mountain Rescue team leader Ronan Concannon and team PRO John Bourke would like to thank the people of Galway for their generosity in contributing to the team’s annual bucket collection held recently.
