From the Waterside Christmas Fire Engine Team e Waterside Christmas Fire Engine is o en associated with festive imagery such as fairy lights, elves, and Santa. However, it has also played an active role during the summer season, attending many local fetes across the Waterside area to raise essential funds required for its continued operation. We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the local community for their generous so toy contributions for our tombolas. We are especially grateful to the local pubs - Travellers Rest, e Nelson, Ebeneezers, e Heath, e Forest Home, e Jolly Sailor, Fawley Falcon, Bold Forrester - as well as Meeple Play Café, Waitrose, e Cro Tesco Express, for supporting and replenishing our bottle tombola. We need to raise around £3000 a year to keep the Fire Engine on the road and so far, we have managed to raise just over £2,000.
