Bonfire Night 7 November 2008


It was a gamble choosing the Friday after the Saturday chosen by the other two local events (Wilburton and Sutton). Unfortunately for them their weather was very wet and attendances were well down. We were lucky- Friday the 7th was good all day, allowing us to set up in the dry and enjoy an evening of spectacular fireworks and a blazing bonfire in perfect weather.

Our attendance figures were well up on previous years
and our food marquee was kept busy for the whole evening-
we did not even get a break to see the fireworks!

Once again Peter and his firework team put on a great display,
Robert built a formidable bonfire which kept everyone warm on the outside and our range of hot dogs, burgers, drinks, soup and baked potatoes kept them warm inside.

Another successful bonfire night where families were able to enjoy the evening in safety amongst their friends.

Our thanks to the dozens of helpers who created it and our visitors who supported us and made it so worthwhile!
