The 2019 GVFB Trundle will be the 20th year this great event has taken place. Enter a team or come and watch one of the UK’s oldest most successful strangest endurance events. Family friendly and food and drink available all day.
It’s that time of year again where The Geddington Volunteer Fire Brigade would like to invite you to the highlight of our calendar – the 2017 Annual Boxing Day Squirt.
For those that don’t know, The Squirt is when the GVFB take on a team from Northamtonshire Fire and Rescue Service at a competition of skill, bravery and wits: A beer barrel is suspended from a wire across the River Ise and both teams take their place at either end of the Ford.
When the whistle is blown, the two teams raise their hoses and attempt to push the barrel over the heads of their competitors to score a point. The first team to 3 points wins.
The Squirt begins at 12:00 noon on the Bridge, however please join us at the Cross at around 11:30(ish) to see us parade and be inspected by this year’s special guest. The Star Inn, White Hart and the Cricket Club will all be open afterwards.
Traditionally, Geddington are announced the victors by around 12:30.
We would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you there on Boxing Day!
Go to blazes!
