Well, as the days grow longer and lighter, thoughts turn to shows and getting 326 back on the road again after the winter. Well, I say winter, it's mad to think that the last show with 326 was last May at Earl's Barton!!

A few irons in the fire. 326's first wedding duty is on the way next week for a friend getting married in the Chapel here at Oakham School. A little bit of sprucing up to do before then and a good clean and polish. I also need some white ribbon!!

I also managed to get a late entry to the Rushden Cavalcade on the May Day bank holiday when I realised that I was free for most of that weekend, which is great news. It is supposed to be a great show with road runs each day, so I am very much looking forward to that.

The Earl's Barton Fire & Rescue Show is on this year again, so I think that will be a re-visit having been for the last 2 years.


Also, entry forms are in for both 326 and 32 to join others at the Newark Emergency Service Show in July. A big show, this replaces the former Derby Fire Show, but on a bigger and better site - the Newark Showground. It should be a large show, so very much looking forward to this!

In advance of that, I thought a quick check of the wheel nuts was in order, but no wheel brace. A quick internet search and a few pounds lighter, it duly arrived and what a beast! Solid, extension bar to get the torque and British made! Winner, very impressed.
