Moffat Mountain Rescue Team volunteer honoured for more than 30 years of service

A Moffat Mountain Rescue Team volunteer has been presented with a Distinguished Service award to mark the significant contribution he has made to the organisation for more than 30 years.

Bill Glennie, chairman of Scottish Mountain Rescue, presented the honour to George “Ginger” McCall on Saturday in front of his family and friends.

The awards are voted on by all teams across Scotland and their purpose is to recognise team members who have made a highly significant contribution to mountain rescue over many years.

A Moffat team spokesman said: “Ginger has been a member of MMRT for around 30 years bringing with him skills in engineering and fabrication that have certainly been put to good use in his time.

“As a keen Land Rover enthusiast Ginger was transport officer for 20 years and played a huge role in developing the fleet of vehicles that MMRT holds today.

“As the only current serving team member of MMRT to hold such an award, it was an honour for the team and Ginger’s family to watch him be presented with this award. A big thank you to Ginger for the time and dedication you have given to Mountain Reacue in Scotland over the last 30 years.”
