Out of area slightly, but three of the local Rotary Clubs are organising a firework display with bonfire at Ware on November 5th. I was there last year and it was very well organised and good value for money.

Went to Sele School last year - great display. Is it an annual event for them?

I think all that you should not be able to buy fireworks. Only be able to see them at proper displays where there is some form of contol. Then the poor animals that get hurt as a result of idots throwing them would be reduced as a result.

Wow! Idiots are throwing animals? Can any animal be thrown or is it limited to small animals, a bit like Hammy the Hamster who's a little bit chubby and a little bit hairy? I'd pay money to see that and have some firewworks thrown in too. [;)]

I wasn't that impressed with Sele last year. Spent most of the time watching another display in the direction of Hertingfordbury which looked much better!

Not quit eanimal throwing but I'd draw your eager attention to the 28th Rwanda Rhino Rolling Championship where Micky Sitoli is the hot favourite with a nose to tail version of this extremely challenging sport.[:D]

JohnSmith, that would have been St Josephs in the Park. It's on the Friday this year.

And three pages of advice from the Sergeant at Stevenage Police Logistics. At least that's what I got last time I tried to organise a display at Hartham. You can ignore the advice but if something goes t*ts up then the insurance company has a good reason not to pay.

I don't really think that's a valid excuse Sloop. Most other councils manage to put on a well organised display every year without incident.

Waterford do a fantasic Fireworks show, I moved into the village a couple of years ago and didn't expect much when we went. It's very professionally run with plenty of high quality fireworks - you can buy a sausage in a roll and a half bottle of wine to enjoy while you're watching. Well worth a look, Sat 4th Nov on Waterford Playing Fields opposite the church.

Ah yes, but there is no time quoted for the Saturday, so it was worth Ray asking again!
