Due
to the Fire Fighters strike, Aston Young Firefighters
Association will be closed until further notice.
We will announce on
this page when we plan to reopen, which will be after any strike
action has finished. Please keep your eyes on the media for when
that may be and check back here for confirmation. |
Well, by my calculations yfa dot org dot uk is now over 2 years old and
we have simply grown from strength to strength in that time. What
started off as a simple one page project with one person learning
how to use html programming software has turned into a team of
people creating a site containing some 1067 pages accompanied by a
total of 762 graphics or pictures in one form or another. The site
has seen just under 4,300 people pass through its virtual doors in
the 24 months of existence with 75 of the visitors signing the
online guestbook. While not huge figures perhaps we could spare a
minute and take a look at where some of the visitors have come from;
Texas, Canada, Kathmandu, Australia, Belgium, Finland, Portugal,
Thailand, Tanzania and Germany, not to mention the many different
places around this country. Thank you for making us what we are
today!!
Operational Support
2002
has seen the introduction of a new Operational Instructor, Sub
Officer Jason Hadley from Oldbury joining the ranks of A2 YFA for
which we are all very grateful.
Former Member Number 5
.....
We are pleased to once
again report that yet another one of our former members has
successfully joined the Fire Service as an operational Firefighter,
making the total up to five. So we say a big 'well done' to Simon
Cusack who has now joined a watch at Bromsgrove Fire Station having
completed the initial training for Hereford & Worcester Fire
Service.
Water World
April saw the first
social event of the year with 14 members going to Water World in
Stoke for a day of water based adventure including over 10 slides,
wild rapids and an assault course topped off with the obligatory
visit to the golden arches.
