    Always good to see pics and footage.

    If you are particularly proud of anything, please send it to me for possible inclusion in the next Spark Magazine.

    If you have any video footage which includes sound of Sidney or the pressing demonstration, could you please PM me before you put it in the public domain, as both speakers have some reservations about some parts...

  2. In Topic: interesting videos

    Used to have one in the Science Museum - In fact used to be the standard way of getting DC current from an AC supply! Happy days!

    Well thanks to everyone - it was a great day!

    Very particular thanks must go to Joseph, a bit of an unsung hero. He did all the booking etc, negotiated the somewhat touchy subject of loud bangs in a residential area, liased with police, school & airport and not least made all those sandwiches on his own - all this while arranging his sisters wedding! The AGM would not have happened without him - respect!!

    Hopefully we will manage to get Chris Bishop next year, but I think Sidney more than made up for his absence, what a character, & what a nice man...

    Was great to chat to some new people as well as the old lags, we really need to grow in numbers and this was most encouraging.

    With a new chair, it's a new era for the UKPS, so thanks to Richard and the very best of luck to Steve.



    PS - we hope to get some footage up in due course, but we need to review what is suitable for public consumption!

    Think Martyn and I are down to do that too, so what we having ordered in takeaway wise?!

    Sorted the shells today, how does 6 x 125mm Orchid Gold Kamuro + 3 x 150mm sound?

    Will anybody be interested in me bringing along a set of PyroQuip to set up and be looked at?



    Hi Carl - yes anything interesting to look at will be very welcome.

    Final say on what is fired lies with Pyrotrev who is insuring the show & Digger, the safety officer,

    My dad and I are willing to supervise the pyro whilst everyone goes and eats!
    This has been a fantastic event the last 2 years I've been, so I can't wait for tomorrow!

    Good man Freddie!
