The National Car Wash Day in aid of the Fire Brigade Benevolent Fund is on Saturday 16th September 2006 from 1o'clock onwards.
Come along and have Carradales finest Firefighters get rid of all that muck and grime.

Sit back and have a small refreshment, cup of tea or coffee and some home baking laid on by our Carradale Activity Play Park group. Well worth a short run to the village.

What a great success Saturday's car wash turned out to be. A scorcher of a day bringing in 28 vehicles washed in the three and a half hour period. Don't want to take up car washing as a full time occupation

Thank's to CAPP for laying on the food and drinks while customers waited on their cars.

We would like to thank everyone for their support and generosity.

The wash side of the day raised a total of £142.30 for the Fire Service Benevolent Fund, with Cheryl and Mary Ann £75.00 for the Carradale Activity Playpark group.

I should have known that before! Still got two dirty cars here! Why doesn't the Dutch firebrigade do things like that?

Good pictures JD, looks like a fine time was had by car washers and car owners......

BUT you went FAR too close with yer power hose to that blue car on the 4th pic down......the owner will be rippin'!

Very artistic with the lance ethough......

Now I don't want everybody knowing this, so we'll just keep it a wee secret between ourselves..................

Mrs Boo! has something of a penchant for firemen (Trumpton wans excluded). Before dropping me off at the pub on Saturday, we stumbled across the car wash at paisley Fire Station - and were duly cleansed. Now I have quite a few friends in the Brigade. It was reported to me that my car was seen at Johnstone, Dalry, Ardrossan, Largs, Greenock, Port Glasgow, Dumbarton, Helensburgh, Clydebank, Cowcaddens, Polmadie and Pollok fire stations later that day!!!

Splendid pictures, JD. How was your hangover next morning?
