Hi Pyrotechnist,
Well the exact remit for the new committee will be up to the main committee(!) I'm only reporting back here.
But as I understand it, it will be to prepare templates, as outlined by Spectrum, that could be used by any Pyro as part of their application to the HSE. I expect it would also liase with the HSE to ensure that the wording met with their approval etc. This could also be the start of negotiations with HSE to find common ground on possible exemptions for small scale pyro.
The committee approach is so that any documents produced would carry the weight of the society as whole, rather than just that of an individual.
I think it would be best to wait until the main committee make an announcement about this rather than 'second-guessing' too much. I'm hopefull that such an announcement will be made within the next couple of weeks...
