WARWICKSHIRE FIRE FIGHTERS MEMORIAL CALENDAR

This calendar is an A3 size calendar, which gives a "tongue in cheek" look at the fire service and is suitable for all ages.

The calendar has been produced to raise funds for the families of the four fire fighters who lost their lives at the tragic fire at Atherstone-on-Stour last year.

As seen on TV and promoted by Patrick Stewart.....

some limited edition signed copies are available!

The most we can post out in one envelope is 5 which would cost 5:75p If however there is a bulk order of 20+ we would look to try to deliver personally or meet half way.
 
If there was a bulk order we could also meet someone at the college in Moreton in Marsh if anyone from that brigade is there at the time.
Any help in any of these brigades would be appreciated, especially London as we have not had a great success there due to someone high up blocking the advertising around their brigade.
 
If I can help in anyway please let me know as this cause means a lot to me and the people involved so the more money we can raise the better, not only for the families but for the "Ben Fund" as well.
 
The closing date for the fund, we think will me about the start of March, not confirmed so we need to get a wiggle on.
 
Thanks again for your help

Notes for Editors:-

The FSPG was founded in London in 1968, and called at that time The Auxiliary and National Fire Service Preservation Group. The purpose was to preserve the equipment and appliances of the National and Auxillary fire services after their disbandment. The present title was adopted in 1972, and with this change the group widened its aims to include all aspects of Fire Service preservation and interests.

Members of "the group" come from all walks of life, many of whom are former or serving firefighters and ages vary, from new bornr to well into retirement. Applications for membership are invited from individuals or families with interest in the Fire Brigades, their appliances or equipment, or the actual restoration and preservation of Fire Appliances. Whilst some members own and operate appliances, others are interested in modelling, producing models from kits or in many cases from scratch. Others collect helmets, badges, uniform, die-cast models or photographs. In fact anything which is of interest, but for some just being a member brings its own rewards.
