Right - we are there. The bad news is that Illuminate have put their prices this year. It will be £110 if we can get 10 people - It's a sliding scale, more people, less per head, less people, more per head - we really need to get 10.

I still think it is a very good deal. You get:

A full day's training (Company Illuminate Consult - Lead trainer Steve Illage).

A fat manual containing all the very latest information.

Hands on experience of setting up and firing CAT 4 material.

A course certificate which is recognised by Roy Musk, the leading Firework Insurance company in the UK.

The course covers, types of fireworks, storage, legislation, transport, risk assessment and much more.


Venue:

Bishop Thomas Grant School

Belltrees Grove

Streatham

London

SW16 2HY

Date: Saturday 10th July Time: 8-30am start

I suggest that if we put in an extra £5 per head, I can provide tea & coffee etc and get in Pizza or similar for lunch.

Please let me know if you are coming AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and I will collect deposits, I need to know by the end of June at the very latest. Sorry for the rush!

So six so far! Sorry about the mix of real and forum names...

We can actually have up to about 15, as it's scheduled in a proper classroom this time - air conditioned!

But we must make 10 if it's going to be economical...
