2011 Bonfire Night Gallery 4
We were lucky with the weather- after a very wet Thursday night, Friday began with persistent rain and at one point we were considering whether or not to go ahead.
About 11am the sun broke through and our spirits rose.
We did not actually need sun cream, but it soon became clear that this November day was going to be an unseasonably mild one, so we set up our equipment ready for another spectacular display from Peter and his firing team.
The food teams got the marquees and lighting ready for the gates to open at 6:30.
Two children bringing a Guy got in free, so it is not surprising that we had over 30 sitting comfortably round the bonfire (the Guys that is!)
Jenny chose the Best Guy and this was carried to the top chair by the bonfire team (Robert & Geoff). The winner pressed the button and Brian's electronically controlled ignition system exploded on cue, and soon the fire was well alight.
Promptly at 7:30 the fireworks began: You can see from the photos and video that it was worth all the effort.
We had quite a few new helpers- thank you, you made a big difference. We need just a few more and the future of Haddenham's Bonfire Night will be assured. If you are keen to see this tradition continue please use the email link and I will send you contact & AGM details.
