Hello All

You're invited to a Mercian fireworks extravaganza in Kings Heath. Those who came to the last one at Pierces will attest that Mercian fireworks pack a punch.

From those I've spoken to, most people are available on Sunday eve. Can you please turn up for 6pm, so it's not a late one on a school night.

We're looking at about a fiver pp for the fireworks, which will be a bargain.

Let us know if you're coming on this thread.

Cheers
Huw

I could probably watch these fireworks from Harborne! Please sign me up.

Huw if you are having a bonfire and need any wood cut up let me know I could come round in the day light on Sunday.

Many thanks, though it'll only be a small thing in a firepit. Which is a point, if anyone has one I could loan that would be great. A big drum BBQ or firepit. Adds a bit of atmosphere I think.

I have a portable bbq that may be suitable for making fire. Looks a bit like this: https://www.caterkwik.co.uk/cgi-bin/tro ... gLaF_D_BwE

Vicky - Many thanks, yes please on the bbq. I'll try and secure a larger one on saturday, but it would be great as a back up if that's ok. Beth's very excited about the cake!

Pyrotechnics and timber have been secured, so we're on for Sunday!
