Blackburn fire Station Bicentennial Vintage Rally Souvenier Program
From: ArticlesThe committee set up to organise the celebrations for the bicentennial decided it was important enough to organise different events
1. was the open weekend to be held at the fire station covering 2 days a lot of organising went into keeping peoples interest we had new and old fire engines, a bomb disposal team who spent the night before with us, a mega tombola with hundreds of prizes donated by local companies, duck the fireman, the human fruit machine always a hit a kids fire engine which drove round the block with lights going, chip pan demonstrations and even a cheerleader competition . All in all a great success
2.building on the success of the open day a vintage motor rally was organised at Witton park , again demanding a lot of preplanning and having many, many vehicles making the effort to take part from all over the country, this was also very successful
3. this was a Dinner venue inviting local dignitaries to help in celebrating our event, organised by the then station commander
4. and lastly that a magazine was to be produced as a lasting legacy of which we still have one or two left today
