This isn't sure for 100%

The organisation of Caput Lucis has ask Hendrickx & Lefeber if they want to shoot a competive show at Caput Lucis, after that question Hendrickx & Lefeber heard nothing more of the organisation if they want to join the festival. so they don't make a ''script'' for a show in Caput Lucis.

That's what we heard of the firma Hendrickx & Lefeber himself :smile:


There is a good chance i will go to the festival of Caput Lucis, i want to see the maltese shells of st mary's :toung:

I'm very happy that a maltese fireworks factory comes in Italy for a competition, so I will finally have the possibility to see the marvellous show that the maltese can do.

I'll be there.

Will you (august15) come in Rome with the maltese fireworks factory?
Will you bring your own artifices?

Thankyou

Hey jonmif,

I can't go to Caput Lucis this year.
I thought i have my holiday in the week of Caput Lucis, but my holiday stops at the 14th of July.

We saw some shells in Mqabba that you are using at Caput Lucis, we saw many cylinder shells :)
I hope you can make some good photo's of the show, maybe in 2008 i go to Caput lucis, or Malta :)


Greetings,
