Re: Bonfire Night
Not really, what with fireworks being illegal and all. Wish somebody would have another go at blowing up The Houses of Parliament now though!

Re: Bonfire Night
fireworkers aren't available to individuals, but they are available to organisations and hotels etc. DCC has always had a massive Bonfire event, last year there was 3000 people there. Shame it will be closed this year

Re: Bonfire Night
The Country Club have a great bonfire night.... if it hasn't been shut down (it was going to be closed to build flats when we left). If it's still there, it's a good night out, plenty of beer, lots on for the kids.... and a good firework display. Oh, and Guy Fawkes cops it too....

The people we were with actually complained and got us all our money back.

Re: Bonfire Night
I couldn't agree more Gareth, but it has been a bit of a tradition, DCC and Bonfire night. I had a massive bust up with the FnB manager that night also got our money back. The management were all new and I think they learnt a big lesson out of it. However this year they won't have the chance to prove that they can get it right
