Is there a bonfire on this year at the Cricket Club? Can't find anything on the web about it..
If not at ACC then does anyone know where else there is an organised bonfire this year and when?

'Ow do, Royski.

I've spoken the chairman of Accy CC, Rod Kenyon, this evening. He said, "Da!" There will be a bonfire at the club, on Saturday 7th of November.

I would expect the event will be publicised in the Local Rag, in due course.

Have a great night...raise lots of money for charity and most important....BE SAFE!

Hi, waswondering is this a safe event or is it another one of those displays where you get too many drunk teenagers acting irresponsibly with fireworks, and making it not safe or enjoyable for families who go to have a nice evening?

Well since it's run at the Cricket Club by a very responsible charity I would say you can safely take your kids !
They don't allow any fireworks other than the organised display (except sparklers under strict supervision), the bar is open but it's well organised and in the 8+ years I've been going with family and youngsters there have been no problems.

Hope to see you there!
