Whatto! Guy Fawkes Revellers.....
I hope you all enjoyed your celebrations for Fireworks Night....
...because they could all too soon become.....
....a thing of the past.
As the organisers at last nights Ilfracombe rugby Club Firework 'spectacular' pointed out:
Lots of people celebrated Guy Fawkes night crowded around a VIRTUAL bonfire projected onto a giant screen tonight after health and safety killjoys forced them to scrap the real thing.
Officials at Ilfracombe Rugby Club haven't held a bonfire night for four years - after being put off by the mountain of paperwork and regulations set by council chiefs.
But this year they opted to show a FILM of the blaze instead to get round the strict rules surrounding the lighting of fires at public events.
Recorded images of a roaring real fire were projected onto a 16ft by 12ft screen mounted on a scaffolding stand - at a cost of £300.
Organisers even used giant heaters, lighting and a smoke machine to give the crowd the taste of a real bonfire night.
The sound of crackling wood was also broadcast on loudspeakers........
......and £2,500 of real fireworks were fired into the air...
...but don't worry.......
....the Council are looking into this.
For those of you who didn't manage to get out last night.....
....here's a box of 'Heath & Safety Approved' Fireworks.......
....for you to virtually enjoy.....
Tallyho!
In order to reduce 'hassle' - I will have to decide what real things to replace with a virtual substitute
Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
