It would be nice to see as many of there as possible. We will shortly publish the schedule and details of the AGM.

Travelodge have some decent hotel offers in London- £29- I think that one is Croydon, is that nearby?

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

Croydon is not too far. I've checked the nearest hotel (Leigham Court) and it's rooms from £55! so I think Travel Lodge is your best bet...

Stopping over for the night at a hotel sounds a good idea and we don’t have to rush off then.

If your parent or guardian consents to your attendance, then I don't see a problem with that.

Still a bit thin on the ground, in terms of people definitely coming. Could you please make yourselves known if you are going to attend.

These things take a lot of organising and it’s not going to happen if we don’t get at least 12 ‘definites’.

I'd give a pretty to be able to attend such an event but, alas, that's not to be (I'm in the states).

Please, will someone take a few notes on the subject of "Recreating old Fireworks" and post them here?

I would find that fascinating.

Probably worth putting a notice on the main website about it to make sure people know about it. I imagine a lot gets looked over in the forum with so many discussions going on!
