Photos from the 2009 Mini-Adventure, Harby to Lincoln.
In 1987, Fireman Major John Hughes invited members of the Brigade, on behalf of Lt. Colonel Chris Eager, to visit his TA training camp and On 7th November the Commanding Officer, Fireman Spence, together with about fifteen firemen left Geddington for a weekend at Swynnerton.
The bi-annual Great Adventure in 2006 recalled the last days of Queen Eleanor. Travelling to meet her husband, L’enfanta de Castille fell ill at Harby near Lincoln.
Longshanks had been hunting in Sherwood Forest and failed to reach the side of his queen before she died.
The 2004 adventure was “Aleblazers” – a dramatic departure from customary activities involving firemen in visits to assess every pub (some 650 plus) in Northamptonshire to:
- Decide the best pub in the county
- Decide the best pub in each local authority area
- Raising money for our charity
