Sounds good! If the Pyro Society has a stall there or similar it would be a great way of getting more people interested in the society, a wider variety of people on the forums etc.

Should be a nice evening.
OK, interest in fireworks to be resumed in the spring. It usually is. ;)

Regrettably as the 'pre-publicity' for this event billed it as 2nd August (at a different venue) and this is the date I kept free, I won't be able to be there, as I will be on holiday :(

You are probably thinking of this- Firework Champions which is basically the same event, but hosted on 2nd August at Stanford Hall. There are several such shows at various venues throughout the summer.

Yes, I was thinking of that event, as it was stated previously that was the one that we were going to attend... (mention of a Society VIP Marquee, possible free admission etc).

I can't be bothered digging out the relevent posts, but I'm sure they are there somewhere! - or it may have been the 'phone meeting' earlier this year.

Richard's article in Fireworks Magazine also mentions this date - I guess the copy went to press before the change of plan.

So, is anyone thinking of going to this? I might, I'll make the decision on the day I think, depends on a lot of things. I'll let you know if i am, but that said I'm sure someone will recognise me.

I'll be going to the Stanford Hall one on 2nd August, Combermere is a bit too far for me to make it practical. Should be good fun anyway!
