Orzella guys! Who will be at 2006 Shugborough!! Cant wait, vids will be uploaded by me and Wazi. Not long now, counting the days!

If i can i will take pictures/vids of the factory tours too.

[Creepin_pyro]

I'm extremely jealous of everyone who's attending - I'll be waiting with bated breath to see any pics/vids/writeups you come back with!

May the photography gods look kindly on your ventures - may your focus be steadfast, strong and true

I can only imagine what Orzella will be offering up for the finale! The title ?The Power of Fire? certainly suggests that it's going to be rather loud

Have fun and stay green over there.

Indeed, for those of us sat over here unable to get to Malta, we hope you get good photos! Have a fun time whoever is going and be safe .

Intresting bit of history.

This Sunday is the 30th of April, marking the ancient festival of Beltane.
Beltane is the midpoint in the Sun's progress between the Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice.

The word Beltan in Wicca means "Fire in the sky."

Looks to be a fine weekend
