Hope you will all enjoy the weekend - I will not be there - shame - would love to.

While on the subject - any members in the HULL area?

[Richard H]

Sorry you can't make it mate. Try and have fun in Hull

Well were setting off soonish, breakfast at the pub (yum) then making our way. Shame you cant make it Big, look forward to meeting other members and seeing some LARGE fireworks! Biggest i ever seen is a 6inch shell, any idea on the largest shells in the display?

[Richard H]

You will see at the least an 8", maybe a 10" or a 12" if we are lucky.

right about to print out map, finish charging camcorder batteries, finding tapes, monopod, loading drinks, munchies into car etc then with luck I'll get to this pub around 17:00 y'all better still be there :-)

A 12' shell ? bloody hell just the whoomp of the thing going up would be pretty impressive :-)

Anyways Hopefully I'll see in a few hours :-)
later dudes

just got back home, its 12:30, shugbrough was Awesome! there was a short bonus display by an italian company at the begining which was really nice too.

i'm going to bed now, i would have written more but im tired.

Was a pleasure meeting you guys. What a FANTASTIC evening. You really had to be there to understand how excellent some of the displays were. The Orzella demo was out of this world.

[karlfoxman]

It was amazing, those multi break shells were incredible. Shame we were down the pub, we could have seen them. The use of fanned comets were fantastic, the entire show was brilliant. Was great to meet the others too, i had a brilliant time and cant wait till the next meeting...

Likewise Karl, good to meet up!

Congratulations to Jubilee for great organisation once again. Also for getting together Millenium, Bracknell, Festival and Orzella for a fantastic display.
Allways nice to get a bit of fallout, makes you feel part of it.
I will definatley be there again next year, it gets better every time.

Bring on the Italians!

I'm not sure if this is the best place for these links but here goes

I've compiled .zip files of some of my photos from each company at Shugborough. These are all un-processed straight from the camera, so apologies for any dodgy angles etc... It would take ages for me to process and sort them so I figured it would be better to just get them online.

I managed to leave the camera on ISO1600 for the Milennium display like an idiot so the photos are very grainy and over-exposed. Thankfully I realised my mistake before Jubilee started. The Zips range from about 6-13Mb - any problems downloading them let me know.

Enjoy the photos - I had a great time taking them. Next year I'll try to arrive early enough to have a chat before everything kicks off - I just managed to set the camera up in time for Orzella. Here's hoping they return next year

Amazing, very beautiful

nothing but problems downloading them - got orzella, wee bit of brightening and they're mint (batch processing mate, takes no time :-) But after 20 minutes of attempting to download the rest - no joy at all. they all cut out before the full file makes it - I'll piss around with a download manager later :-( But I guess that's the downside of free hosting.
