Well, not toooo long to go, what does everyone have planned over the summer, or for November 5th.

I'm haoping that there will be lots of stuff that is both decent and affordable around.

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

Can't wait me, not long now. :D Hoping to have a lot of stuff myself, same as last year but really want to see a lot more local shops i.e papershops stocking fireworks as last year was a big let down.

Yeah, I agree there- although I can't see the trend reversing much over the next few years, to be honest. Papershops, Spar type places etc don't really seem to do pyro much any more. Not like the old days!

Looking very forward to this year :D.

Ive spent the past few weeks looking at firework videos wishing time would fly by.

I think once the British Musical Firework Championships at Southport come around I will be looking even more forward to it and will know theres not long to go!!

Im going to try and get some decent fireworks for my Birthday this year which is the last week in October, and then some more for actual bonfire night!! Looking very forward to it!!

Yeah, I think the established and good all year round fireworks shops will do well, as the can get their stock in, catalogues out to people and websites updated and orders in etc before the seasonal competition even opens it's doors.

That said, on a personal level, I'm struggling to get "into" it this year. Dunno why, really.

I shall be going to the firework warehouse this year!

Some ideas that I am thinking about buying so far are:

Army cube cake- £12
Party king rockets (21 rockets) (Absolute)) £25
Arctic Barrage box £35 (again absolute)

Then I am hoping to get a few extras such as a few fountains, wheels and mines to go with them. Would be grateful if anyone who has set of any of these fireworks would be able to tell me what there like/ if there any good.

Ironically, I've got a load of fireworks from over the last 2 years, but after the fuss I had with my neighbour (only setting off the tiny fountains from the small box, ie. before getting really started)I feel a bit inhibited.
Need to find someone in Devon with a garden who's in the mind to be a pal with a complete stranger.

Shame you don't live closer dave, you would have been welcome to let them off with me. I live out in the sticks so you can make as much noise as you like with out neighbours moaning.;)
