lost their lives at the tragic fire at Atherstone-on-Stour last year.
As seen on TV and

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.
