A combination of holidays and a broken motherboard means I've been out of touch for a while. I can't find anything re a UKPS presence at plymouth this year. I'm an objectionable character with no friends and therefore
don't do facebook [I can't take all that rejection] As a result am fairly immune to any form of viral communication I'm going to be in plymouth on 11/12 please help. looks not important GSOH essential!

We will not be at Plymouth as an organisation this year, though I am sure lots of members will be there.

We would like to do more events, but it's a matter of finding 6 or more reliable people & organising the logistics. Tents, generators, lighting, tables, display boards, exhibits, mechandise, van hire 16" mortar tubes!- quite a lot to it!

Bob has said he will have a look around for us and see if there is a suitable 'pitch'. Maybe next year...

Is this a free event or are tickets needed for each day? Also what is the accommodation situation are all the B&B'S/Motels booked well in advance around this time ?

[dogsbody]

if your watching, ys its free (you will probably have to pay carparking someewhere in plymouth though) not too sure about B&Bs as I live 40-50 miles away i drive down!

[fruitfulsteve]

I'm toying with the idea of going down on the bike,on the 12th weather permitting

[dogsbody]

[fruitfulsteve]

Bugger!!! i thought it was the 11th/12th that was nearly a long trip for no reason. cheers

Why hold the event midweek when most peps free time is at weekends?

[pyrogeoff]

I have watched videos of 3 of the displays Star Fireworks,1st Galaxy, Essex Pyrotechnics. They were all very good displays,and i so wish i could have gone down there. Star Fireworks won the competition,and congratulations to them winning as from what i have read the standard of displays was very high.

[Spyrotechnics]

[The Legendary Graham]

Yeah, 12" was the biggest fired by any of the teams, and only a handful of them in total.

Great displays from all teams, and really nice to see a set piece from SM Art. I'll be uploading photos and video of all teams later so will post the links here.

I was refering to a different show where the 16" was fired.
