by Mark Levitt

The Rockets Children’s Motorcycle Display Team

Combining adrenaline-fuelled stunt action, this talented troupe of young boys & girls will astound you with their airborne stunts & formation riding performance. Featuring their  very own club mascot “Rocket” the bear bringing this show alive with the audience.

Showcasing skills & ability the courage of these children will undoubtedly leave the crowds wowed.

If that’s not enough don’t worry they  know the importance of fun family entertainment & laughter so have plenty of this too!

Who Are The Rockets

They  are a small but talented enthusiastic group of 5-16 year old children. The  club is run by parents of the riders and every rider has the opportunity to excel in what they are good at. They  pride ourselves in being an inclusive club and having an eye for any particular skill a child may display, which is why they  are so successful as they  are open minded and will try and utilise these skills and passion to deliver an ever changing but spectacular performance with no two displays being the same.

The children have significant experience of riding and performing for many years both individually and collectively. Throughout this time they have been privileged to perform at Hyde Park for the Queens Jubilee, Silverstone, Asda’s ”on your marks” , 999 Emergency Service Day to name just a few. Furthermore, given the immense opportunity to train alongside & perform with the incredibly world famous “White Helmets”!

Their success hasn’t come without hard work & commitment, but when you are as dedicated as these young boys and girls, the passion shines through but don’t take our word for it come and see for yourself at the Emergency Services Show!

2018 show date

by ESS Media

The Emergency Services Show will be returning to Cotswold Airport on Sunday 16 September 2018.

Our Show is organised by a charitable trust, made up of volunteers drawn mainly from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, Wiltshire Police and South Western Ambulance Service.

Our Chairman of the trustees, Chris Harvey, said: “The Show was held at Cotswold Airport for the first time last year and we had a great time, despite the worst weather we’ve ever had to contend with! We’re delighted to be back there for 2018, and we look forward to welcoming old friends and meeting new visitors.”

He added: “Our focus is to provide a great day out, while promoting the work of the emergency services both in Wiltshire and beyond. The Show is a great opportunity for charities, community groups, businesses and others to get their messages across to a wide audience and in an informal setting. We provide a safe environment to learn about your local emergency services, view displays and demonstrations, take part in activities, get safety advice and meet your local emergency service teams.”

Jo Welch, Head of Events & PR at Cotswold Airport, said: “We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Emergency Services Show again this year.  Our showground site worked really well as the venue for this incredible show last year, even with the awful weather conditions, so we are delighted to have been selected again this year.

“We have close links with all the Emergency Services and support them in many guises throughout the year, from fire training to accident investigation exercises.  We wish the ESS team the very best of luck with this year’s event and very much look forward to another great day out and hope for sunny weather!”

One of the main drivers of the Show is to raise money for organisations that support the work of the emergency services, and donations totalling more than £150,000 have been made since the first event in 2005.

Come And See The Under 17 Car Club – Get Behind The Wheel Safely

by Mark Levitt

We are please to announce that The Under 17 Car Club will be joining us again this year at the Show.

With a dedicated safe arena, under 17’s can sample driving with a qualified instructor sat alongside.

The Under 17 Car Club . It was started in 1976 by Sandie Barry who realised there was no opportunity for youngsters under seventeen to drive cars. The Club is run entirely by volunteers  with no full or part-time paid staff.

The aim of the club is “to enable under age drivers to practice and improve their driving skills legally and safely, in a variety of different vehicles, under properly supervised conditions, and to take an active interest in cars and motor sport and ultimately to produce safer young drivers on our roads at age 17 and beyond”.

Come and see them at the show .

by ESS Media

On Friday 9 September the Emergency Services Show (ESS) committee were delighted to grant £35,000 to 18 charities and blue light organisations that support the show.

The evening celebration took place on Friday 9 September at Police Headquarters in Devizes and the money was raised from our tenth show which was held in 2015 at Hullavington Airfield.

We also celebrated with our volunteers and recognised their hard work and dedication to the show.

The ESS committee, made up of ten members from all three services rely on the support of our volunteers who work tirelessly to help us set up, set down and ensure the show is a success and helps us connect with local communities from all over the south west.

Chief Constable Mike Veale attended the evening and presented certificates and cheques to the beneficiaries said: “The show highlights the excellent work of the emergency services and raises much-needed funds for such good causes.

“A massive thank you from myself to all the volunteers and committee members who painstakingly pull the annual event together, your dedication and passion for the show shines through.

“Seeing all the recipients at the event, I could see clearly how much this money will benefit organisations and charities which do so much for the public.”

We are still planning the 2017 show and hope to shortly be able to announce the venue and date.

We would like to thank all of the volunteers who have supported us over the years as well as our sponsors and supporters.

Last years show was sponsored and supported by Vodafone, Grist Environmental, Forces War Records, Primetech, SAM FM, Ideal Displays, Nurdens, Green Meadow Recovery and Thamesdown Transport.
