Firebar's Bonfire 2013
 

What a great weekend we had at the invitation of Mr & Mrs Firebar. They seem to attract a great crowd of lovely people. There were plenty of engines moving about and the road run to the pub in the rain, between the showers, was a real highlight. We baked bread 'al fresco' and enjoyed the many savoury delights that people had brought along. Special thanks must go to Chef Bill who conjured up epicurial delights from his field kitchen.

Hen hut

Great pictures thanks for sharing. I particularly like the one of everyone gathered around the Wolseley engine.

It looks like a ritual of some sort?

Who's is the compound Aveling? Thats a cracker.

Looks like Time Team :- " Er , dare I say the R word , Professor , could it be a ritual object ? "

Jim

There were lots of compound Avelings...... ;)

Thanks to all who came and all who contributed to the festivities. Hope you enjoyed it.

I will count the Charity pots tonight and report back.

Ha! I meant the roller!

That young lass in the pink pinny has a lovely smile !

Joe, liked his pinny. ;)

A very nice weekend, plenty of people to talk to and good food although bread production was outstripped by demand for a while !. did the spit bang ever burst into life ? there where rather a lot of "experts" looking at it over the two days !!.

A pic I took later on Sunday !.

We raised £86.23 for Hope House Hospice. We will top it up.

Thanks very much for your generosity folks. Much appreciated.

And another £20 to the total divinely delivered this morning - thanks again.

Mrs davidje took that one :o

There was a short video clip of the DG6 on here some time back, coming from the Hanmer Arms i was amazed by its turn of speed & acceleration.
