8am on Saturday 31st July saw a team of 15 firemen at the Village Hall to erect our marquee and provide shelter for the Gretton Silver Band whilst they played at the Gardening Club’s 36th Annual Village Show.
Another world record was set, 55 minutes for the complete framework and roof.
In order to support the Cricket Club’s Beer Festival Weekend we erected our 12m x 6m marquee on the cricket pitch boundary to provide shelter for supporters and drinkers.
The task was completed in a world record time of 2 hours despite a strong head wind, due to the excellent work of 15 firemen. A similarly excellent crew carried out the dismantling.
The first photos from the recent Great Adventure are now available. More information to follow at the next brigade meeting but for now, thanks to the Adjutant and the CO, please enjoy these…
Yet another batch of historically important archives have been unearthed which we would like to share with you.
This month, we have another action report from 1980, this time describing a flood in Chapel lane. Also included is a letter from the chief and an ode dated 1978.
It’s been a busy 12 months and the CO has sent me over 60 photos for you all to enjoy! Some are happy times to remember, others perhaps best forgotten.
If you would like to write a brief report for any of these events, please do so and email to Fireman Harker, JME.
