Runs quite nicely

[probie_boy]

got many entries yet jeff?

[SA Firey]

Entries are coming in slowly and we need to spread the word so all those Fire Appliances stuck in the shed get the dust off of them for the run.

Then again there is probably a few CFS appliances that need that too

Ladies and Gentleman,

It gives me no pleasure to advise that the 2008 National Fire Engine Run is cancelled due to lack of interest, and no support from any fire service.

I could elaborate on it more but is not in the spirit for which this site was intended.

I thank all those who did make contact, and show a genuine interest to be a part of what I thought would be an excellent opportunity to showcase what the firefighting community,restorers,collectors of fire appliances had at one location and provide a photographers paradise 

Regards

SAFirey

That is a damn shame Jeff. I was looking forward to attending.
