This is'nt a dedicated uet muster, or any other catagorised car show for that matter, so what is it?

Well Londonderry RFS is having it's station open day on September 26th we figure hey why not step this up a bit and have a bit of a car show.

Its open to all things automotive, basicaly if its got wheels it's welcome to enter, we're planign a real casual day, no pre registration just turn up on the moring you well be directed to a spot fill out the 3 line registration slip and pay your $5.00 thats right only $5.00, theres no set catagorys or class's but theres a few awards based on what the firies think stands out to them.

There will plenty to keep every one occupied, there will be Fire fighting demonstrations, the kids (big & small) can have a look all over the trucks play with hoses, the members will be only to happy to talk to you about every thing to do with the brigade and the RFS in general, also this is the perfect time to ask any questions you have about joining the RFS or preparing your home for the upcoming fire season.

In addition to this we will be bringing back the Londonderry community markets these have every thing from brick-a-brac to Nanas home made cakes and biscuits throw in some cool cars and it ticks every box for pretty much every body.



The event will be held on Saturday 26th of September 2009 at Londonderry oval (enter off Trahlee Road via Londonderry Road) start time is 9am



For more information on the day go to Real Fine Stuff

At Londonderry we are a Village category station this means we not only do bush grass and scrub fire but we also respond to homes and other structures as well as Motor vehicle accidents and any thing else your normal full time or retained fire brigade would turn out too.

This will be the focus of our demonstrations, what to do if you have a kitchen fire, how to choose an extinguisher, demonstrations on using the extinguisher. We are also planning a joint demonstration with another organisation with a simulated motor vehicle accident, (this is planed to go worst case scenario )

So we figure as we have a car there to do with as we see fit, why not blow the engine up, it’s a little different to guessing how many jelly beans in a jar as we don’t know before we turn the key how long it will last.

On top of this we are planning a little audience participation, so how strong are you guys???? How about we face off 2 Fire tankers + 2 lengths of rope 2 teams, who can tug the tanker over the distance faster????? Come on guys show us what ya got!!!!

You would think all that would fill the day up wouldn’t you? Well we haven’t stopped there, we also have DylanDrew performing on the truck stage and are working on securing other acts.

For any one that may be interested our brigade has serviced not only the community of Londonderry but also other regions around NSW and even interstate over the last 50+ years. Last year Londonderry RFS was one of the busiest volunteer brigades in the state attending well over 200 incident calls. As well as responding to fire / emergency calls we as a brigade have spent thousands of hours both educating and actively preventing fire with in the community.

The reason we are holding this day as part of the State wide RFS open day scheme is to raise much needed funds to extend our existing fire station with a third engine bay, this is to house the third vehicle our brigade has that is currently housed at our Captains residence, as you can imagine this is not the ideal situation so we are working hard to raise the necessary funds to carryout this extension.

Just to clarify a few points that seem to be the focus of most phone calls I have relating to the event

There is no pre registration, just turn up on the day, the guys from the hotrod clubs will park you, they will then come to you and you fill out a simple entry thing pay your $5.00 and enjoy the day. We figure your there to support us and have a good time so why bother with pre registration formalities.

Yes every one in your car gets in with the $5.00 entry fee, hell you’ve been supportive enough to come out we’re not gonna hit you up any extra for your passengers.

ITS NOT JUST HOT RODS, the event is open to any thing with wheels, including but defiantly not limited to, hotrod’s customs, classics, muscle cars, drag cars, street machines, imports, rotaries, 4WD’s late model cars, mini trucks, feral Ute’s bikes, choppers, working trucks, fender benders, if its got wheels bring it out we’d love to see it.

As you can see, by the amount of styles of cars encouraged to enter it would be impossible to have category’s so there are no categories, you won’t be winning best Sedan, Coupe Ute or pick up. The judging is done by the firefighters and there will be a trophy for each ranging field officer, Captain, Senior Deputy Captain, Deputy Captain & 2 X Fire fighters trophies.

Here’s the Captains Trophy so you know what were talking about no there not your average gold coloured plastic thing, you get form the local trophy shop.
