Dear readers, here is an illustration of some of the helmet transfers you have helped me with, a very big thank you to each and every one of you.
A couple of years ago the good people of your association agreed to insert a short piece about me and my interests. I consider myself very fortunate to have made contact with many interesting and generous ex. fire service personnel who share my interest in fire service insignia, especially these small pieces of paper which bring me such joy.
I am asking once again for your help to dig into your treasure troves in the hope that you may have an odd example to spare. please rest assured that it would be kept, preserved and displayed with the pride and dignity it deserves.
Thanking you in advance for any help you can offer.
respectfully,
Andy Lloyd

Charity Fund Leleka
The Board of our organisation has prepared a project "Clean air" the main aim of
which is organising recuperative trips for children.
Hope you will help us to find
British firefighter’s families that are willing to host the children of Ukrainian
firefighters, giving them an opportunity to breath clean air and to eat fresh, free
from radiation food. It would be a great opportunity to meet your culture and traditions
as well.
Anyone who can help should write to the LELEKA Fund at:

Oppose the Firefighters Charity Evicting their own retired members
Retired firefighters living in the sheltered housing in Littlehampton are facing eviction by their own charity. They have done nothing apart from serve their communities for years, and hoped to be housed and looked after in their old age. Now in their 70's, 80's, and older in some cases they are to be thrown out to fend for themselves.
I'm Kijung, a firefighter, currently working as a staff member of 2010 World Firefighters
Games in Daegu city, South Korea. I would like to begin by paying our great respects
for your contributions to safety and civil defence in your country.
Daegu city is
proud to play host to the World Firefighters Games in 2010 (21st ~ 29th, August),
It would be our great pleasure to encourage firefighters(including retired and volunteer)
as a whole to attend the games, I would be delighted to give you an insight into
the games and provide you with more information.
This event is held every two years
and participation is qualified for current, volunteer, retired firefighters and their
families so it hasn’t been the game that has a large number of participants the same
as the Olympics or the Asian Games.
However, because of the nature and purpose of
this Games, which are sharing friendship among firefighters and their families from
all around the world and giving opportunities that enables the participants to experience
the host country’s tradition, this event has specific characteristic compared with
international elite sports games and the social benefits are very high compared to
investment.
Our organizing committee has been working on the games since 2007 in order
to ensure the games are a huge success and an enjoyable experience for firefighters
and their families across the globe.
We would like to spread out our PR materials
and information of 2010 WFG to firefighters and their families, because we're hoping
to involve as many people as possible from all around the world.
If you wish you
can respond by e-
I very much look forward to waiting for your reply. Thank you in advance
for your co-
Yours Sincerely,
Kijung Kim
Organizing Committee of the 11th
World Firefighters Games 2010 Daegu Korea
