Yeah, good point. Thing is, at the moment there is a sometimes a perception (from those who have heard of it at all) that the Pyro Society is mainly a club for people who are interested in producing fireworks in the UK. This perception is largely correct! 
But yeah- the important thing is making it clearly that this will be done safely, legally, and won't pose a threat to established businesses.
Exactly, The core aims of the UKPS should include some of the following:-
Start and increase the manufacter/science/innovation and artistic skills base of our country for firework making purposes.
Preserve the UK firework history & heritage.
Establish various small firework manufacturing bases via licensing in a safe environment according to an agreed code.
To be accountable in terms of safety and security to the authorities.
Promote the UKPS, and work with local communities.
Give skills & guidence to encourage small businesses who wish to produce and display UK manufactured fireworks.
Promote safety and awareness of fireworks in general.
To work with local authorities to establish firework firing areas away from private residential areas! - (some of these could be supervised).
Our future aims/goals should be something like:-
To build a National Firework School, where students can practice the art and science of firework making to gain a accredited qualifications (this could be linked to universities/colleges, or the `Open University` (my choice).
To have in place 6 national firework study centres spread across the country within 15 years.
