It'll probably be a struggle to get much organised for tonight now, but how about we get a few fireworks and the remaining That chers and have a fire party on Friday night? Not sure where we could find for a venue - somewhere like Morgans Hill probably unless anyone wants to donate their house to the flames, come on Fire Fans!! This could also be the end of Brian if we decide he has no other use??
Phil is Director of sparklers by the way.
And of course the fire music will be blasting out, I'm hoping to persuade Electric 6 to play. Wow this is going to be the event of the year, and I only thought of it half an hour ago...

One year on time to ressurect this topic!!!
Does anyone know of any good displays of spontaneous combustion happening on Friday? Or shall we take some rockets and a few gallons of cider to a remote location and see what happens?!
I was wondering if the one we went to last year was happening again, it appears it isn't, and I found this article about people complaining that the mega-rocket was never actually launched - http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/archived_material/2003/week_46/news/asp/03-11-14Damp.asp
Cider's coming home...

They were pretty good fireworks, but we couldnt really tell which one was the biggest, none of them went 2 miles high, and planes flew straight through the middle of it (and survived). And nothing went wrong, so Weston lived. |

Phil is also coming so thats 4 of us - anyone else for the mental rocket? There's a rumour it may destroy Weston...
I'm also wondering if we'll be allowed to help with the vehicle dismantling??
Edit: I've just shown the photo of the man reaching above his head to touch the top of the rocket with a demonic grin to my managers, and they are all agreed this is the most mental firework ever, with the potential to destroy weston (leaving Nailsea as the biggest town in N Somerset). There are definitely smaller warheads.[:p][:p] |

I'm coming home this afternoon for the weekend and I can't think of a better home-coming than fire and cider!
It's Britain's biggest firework, take pride in where we live (even if they are from CLevedon) and we can laugh at the rest of the country with their pathetic little fireworks!
Make her day, put something in cider |

Here's the story from the n. somerset times - unfortunately they havent put the picture on but if anyone has a fax at work i can send you it as i've brought it with me!
Fireworks will divert planes
Aeroplanes may be diverted from flying over the site of a massive Guy Fawkes event on November 7 in case they get hit by a giant firework.
The massive fireworks, thought to be the only ones in the country, travel more than two miles up in the air after launching and will be set off during the finale of a show in Hewish.
More than three tonnes of fireworks will go up in smoke behind Avon Vehicle Dismantlers on the A370.
The show has been organised by AVD and Clevedon-based company Firemagic and more than £10,000 of fireworks will be let off to music.
Firemagic owner Andy Collins said: "Part of the event will be an 18-minute display including a brand new range of fireworks.
"We have been talking to Bristol International Airport because some of the fireworks will be in the flight path and we either want to let them off when the planes are not flying or they may have to be diverted."
The gates and car park will open at 6pm on November 7 and the fireworks will begin at 7pm. Tickets are available from Avon Vehicle Dismantlers before the show and also on the gate on the night. |

If planes are refusing to get within 10,000 feet of this warzone, I think we would be mental to get within 10 feet of it/you! |
