Nearly £450 was raised on Saturday by firefighters at Normanshurst Fire Station for The Fire Fighters Charity.
Over 60 cars underwent 'expert' cleaning by the assembled firefighters with many drivers donating £10 for the privilege of having such 'experts' on hand. At times it seems that the firefighters were wetter than the cars but that just added to the fun…
As with previous car wash's I was out at the front of the fire station drying the cars with fellow driers, Ben Horne, Paul Field and Simon Reeves.
The sun shone and there were no shouts to disrupt the steady flow of cars. We finally closed the doors at just after 3pm by which time just about everyone had been thoroughly soaked!
A big thank you to all the firefighters and their families that helped on the day but, more especially, to those members of the public that actually trusted us to wash their cars without breaking them. And we even washed two cars whose owners had driven all the way up from Clacton and Romford. We like to think that it was the draw of our car wash that lured them Up North and it was great to see them…
And just as the tea was being brewed the bells went and two seconds later my alerter chirped in too.
See you on the next post…
