Fourth Firework Spectacular @ The Pageant Field

400th Anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot

A Town Council Event

The hardworking Ents Committee co-optees built the bonfire with the help of a JCB and donated burnables, some of which arrived in wheelbarrow.

Despite some two thousand people on the Pageant Field there weren't big queues to get in but the three foodie stalls did have more or less permanent ones ...

... the pa broke down but Spadge still organised the crowd to count down the first firework (and the winning tickets in the raffle {sorry draw} both belonged to ladies and were Yellow 137 the DVD player and White 124 the hamper) ...

... the crowd applauded spontaneously and there was the inevitable traffic jam to get out.
