Just rung H.B.C. Here goes:-

The cast from Aladdin, which is/will be on at the Civic Theatre.
Girls Alone tribute band of Girls Aloud supported by 107 Beach from the Bee (not sure if last spelled correctly, etc)
Suppose these will be part of the Entertainment.

No specific names quoted .. and they are not sure who will actually press the button.

Entertainment begins at 6.30 p.m., Lights 7.30 followed by Fireworks at 7.40.

Re: Accy lights switch on

Seems that even going to watch the lights switched on is getting dangerous. Whilst my daughter was there some moron threw a full can of pop and it hit her on the head and bounced onto my grandaughters forehead. Luckily they are both ok but she is none to happy about it.

Re: Accy lights switch on

Such an event is likely to be operated by a pyrotechnic specialist company, and the cancellation will likely involve a fee to be paid by way of 'loss of deposit'.
So if the date is rearranged the overall cost will have increased.
A new date will be an anticlimax and will have lost its original purpose, so I doubt that our council will arrange such a 're-date'.

waste of public money anyway
