Welcome to Firefighters66 – Uniting Firefighters Through the Love of Motorcycling


Image

Firefighters66 is a UK-based motorcycle club exclusively for serving and retired operational firefighters who share a passion for riding. Founded in Kent, our community extends across the United Kingdom and Europe, bringing together firefighters who ride motorcycles of 500cc or more.




Our Mission


We aim to foster camaraderie among motorcycle-riding firefighters, organize group rides, and support fire-related charities. Through our events and gatherings, we raise funds for individuals affected by fire-related injuries and contribute to various fire service-related charitable organizations.

This is worn by full members. No support patches for any other club allowed. Other Fire Service related patches can be worn as long as they are relevant to the individual and don’t cause offence.

No location patches or patches that could be construed as claiming a territory or location will be worn alongside, below or above the FIREFIGHTERS patch.


Structure

Committee consists of a President, Secretary and Messman (Treasurer). We have divisional reps in various locations of the United Kindom for contact purposes only.

 

Each Divisional Rep will Form part of the National Committee. Members in Countries other than the UK will select a National Rep who will also form part of the Committee.

 

The club has its base and roots in Kent but we will have divisons in other areas where membership numbers warrant. Assistance will be given to ensure interactions and good relationships with local clubs is maintained where possible.

Whilst we work with members of the Police etc. at incidents our social lives are separate and besides it’s a FIREFIGHTER’s club.


Neutrality


As we have members from all over the country it should be stressed that we are an independent and neutral group and as such may be seen at events being organised by a variety of organisations and clubs.

 

This does not mean that we are supporters of any other organisation it’s just that we enjoy socialising.
