BORDON will play host to some of the county’s most impressive emergency response vehicles and equipment during this year’s annual Hampshire 999 Emergency Show at the weekend.

The event on Sunday will feature an arena and static displays from current members of the emergency services, classic and custom cars, craft stalls, food, drink and everything in between.

It will run from 10.30am to 6pm and will be set at the fields just off the A325 north of the Kingsley turn, with access via Quarry Road.

There will be free admission with shuttle bus service on the day.

Organiser Paul Wingate, a SCAS ambulance technician and Bordon resident, said: “Last year’s show was a great success and the weather was fantastic.

“We hope to raise lots of funds for our main charities in 2015 as well as other smaller charities who will be dotted around the event site.

“The show enables us to demonstrate the collaborative working of all the emergency services, pass on essential community safety messaging and raise awareness of some of the lesser-known blue light services run by volunteers such as the Hampshire Rescue Dogs and the British Red Cross Fire and Emergency Support Service to name but a few.

“We have fantastic preserved 999 vehicles attending and classic cars and motorcycles whose owners spend so much time, effort and money to keep on show for the public.

“This year we also have some exciting new attractions which we hope the public will enjoy as well as giving everyone a great day out with lots to see and do.

“The show started three years ago and it has now established itself as one of the largest events in Hampshire and this is thanks to all the volunteers who attend the show.

“Without them we would not be able to put on the show.”
