The Party has become an annual event, incorporating a football match between two pubs in the village, The Dog and Packhorse Inn (the final score was 8-5 to the Dog), a bouncy castle, DJ and the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service also attended with one of their fire fighting appliances.

Our vehicles also attracted a number of children who wanted to try out the public address system functionality of our vehicles, with one budding future ’Alan Sugar’ using the system to promote his stall!

The team also tended to a young girl who had cut her foot. This incident has not been recorded in our official figures and is mentioned here for informational purposes only.

The team have been attending this event for a number of years now. Belthorn is also home of “The Shed”, who in Jim, the owner of The Shed, together with contributions from the village, donate a large sum of money to the team each year.
