Cool- I should be there. I have quite a few bits and bobs- a few bigger cakes, and lots of little category 2 bits.

Looks like i'll be at this one chaps,really looking forward to it.I'll be bringing a Panasonic NV-GS250 (MiniDV),and a digi-cam, so they should be plenty of vids&pics

Pyro wise,you'll just have to wait

I will be there! I'll bring some igniters and wire and a firing box.

Sounds like this one will be popular!

I think it would be a good idea if people suggest, roughly, how much pyro they are bringing. If we have too much stuff between us, it might be the case that we find we are running short on time, obviously out of respect for sleeping villagers we don't want to be firing right up until 11pm!

I have 2 big cat 3 fountains, 2 big cat 3 cakes, and bits galore!

Probably a few shells again and anything Im working on at the time too.

I will hapilly make a number of ematches and have them available at the shoot for others to use. Ill be bringing my 40 cue remote boxes again so if we arrive early enough to set up prior to starting firing then we could set up everything and fire without too any large gaps.

Would love to come (with wife & son) + some pyro...

No problems you can set it up as auto fire (with delay) or sequential (on command) or all fire.

Its up to you.

Excellent,thanks phil.

The last time i used the rack,i wanted them all to fire at once,but kinda liked the delay (accidental),we'll see what mood i'm in when i get there lol

Well the delay setup is adjustable from 0.01 seconds to 9.99 seconds between consecutive cues so a sweep is easy to do though Ive never see nt "ALL FIRE" buttin used in anger yet lol.

Ill be bringing a load of ready made matches down so we just need a few lengths of bell wire if anyone has any.

What time is everyone wanting to get there? Or more importaintly when does Steve mind us turning up?

[Arthur Brown]

Several "all fire" buttons have had the PCB tracks cut to disable them!
