Quite agree meg. You would have thought that after 11 months of trying, the previous keepers of the site would have managed something better than a crap front page.

Dilbert the Fearless Earless Firefighting Mannequin would like to thank all members of the Preservation Group who expressed their concern and best wishes following the injury he sustained at the Old Greenock Fire Station Open Doors day at the weekend.

I have the pleasant task of informing you all that Dilbert underwent Radical surgery at the private practice of “Dr Does That Guy never Smile” AKA Dr Giggles-AKA “Does that Handbrake work ok”

Dilbert’s ear was re-grafted into position and held in place with an unorthodox but safe surgical adhesive.

Sadly Dilbert will never be that handsome chap we all know and respect as he has significant scarring around the injury.

In true grit Brigade style !! Dilbert did not utter one work during the surgery and refused all medication prior to and following his operation.

However, I am assured that the master of “Make Up” Mr. Adams is going to teach Dilbert how to apply some foundation cream to the injured area to disguise the scarring.
I am further informed that the foundation cream Mr Adams is going to use on Dilbert will be of a much better quality that the one he himself uses. Then again, I think he gets his by the truckload from Blue Circle or Portland!!!

All the best Dilbert !!!! Hope to see you backtogether again Next Year !!!
PS. Once you get you arms and hands reattached, Perhaps you could drop us a message to let us know how you are getting on. Hopefully, you won’t be stuck in the same position again….

To all our members.

I would like to thank all those who took part in the highly successful Preston Hall event. We went there with 7 appliances and 5 of them – the Austin Gipsy, Fire Warrior, Jim Smiths’s T.L. and Davie McAusland’s Landrover, won prizes, in addition to the Best Overall Trophy won by the Dennis F8.

A lot of hard work went into getting the vehicles there and then presenting them in show condition.
My thanks goes to all involved for a great team effort not only for this weekend but for all the events and shows we have attended so far this year.

Bob Wright,
Chairman.

I have added a link to an article I wrote on the course George Wylie and I attended at the Fire Service College.
