we'll be switching from dodgy roaming camera to better static soon, stick with it, fireworks in 20 mins!

That's all folks, hope you enjoyed the show, sorry about the camera going into black and white when it thought it was too dark, lesson learned for next time.

Cheers,
Robin

Well if you missed the live feed (and this was done by Satellite!!!) here are some movies of the event.....thanks to Mark of FireworkCrazy for access to the footage.....

Competition - 3 displays by teams using only Cat 3 consumer fireworks set to music...all hand lit in the legally prescribed manner, with no modification of the fireworks at all....these are good examples of what the public can do...each team 4-5 mins with a budget of £500 (640 Euro's - 999 US Dollars).....first team lost their music, but its still great show, won't tell you won.... you can guess :blink1:

Of course I will Tony, I am sure the event will take place again in some form next year ....to add a European flavour with a Dutch team would be a great thing. I hope your not as good as your football team, they are playing amazingly well at the moment :blink1: must be great fun to watch ......now you are married are you still allowed to watch the footie :laugh:?
