It seems a combination of full-time work and the credit crunch means I can unfortunatley no longer continue (at the moment) in the experimental side of pyrotechnics, so I have the following items available if anyone wants them, simple pop me a private message, If anyone wants to buy the job lot this would be preferable to sending each seperate item...

This is the perfect starting kit for a beginner, or a top-up kit for anyone running low on chems...

Sorry to take this off topic, but do you still work for SP? If so, any plans for a demo night this year.

Sorry to hear that you have been caret crunched and that you are going to give up the hobby. I hope it all sorts itself out for you so that you can get back to the obsession soon.

I have to say those bits and pieces are a bit expensive though, some of those are twice the price of Phill Cooper (and one or two 8 x what I pay). Antimony looks a good price though.

To be honest the prices are pretty much estimates, it's been such a long time since I bought any of those chemicals I don't really know the retail value of most of them any more, but any offers would be accepted

David: We are no longer holding a "Demonstration Night" as such, this year we are turning our annual event into a full fireworks display, which will take place on November 15th I believe, more information will be available on our website closer to the time.

Thats actually a pretty good idea- the last years demo night was really- massive! I guess the cost of hosting such a large event as a free demo night isn't justifed by the extra sales, so to speak?

Originally it was ok, but every year we've had an increase in crowd by 50% so far, and the night costs us an estimated £15,000 with no money made, so, you can understand that we now have to change it lol

Yeah- I see exactly what you mean!

Although, that said, I assume that demo nights do increase sales - although I doubt enough extra custom to cover the £15 000!
