Yes.

The guidance we've received would allow you to re-fuse a cake.

The limiting factor seems to be exposing the lift charge/effect i.e. you can re-fuse as long as you don't cut into the individual tubes of a cake.

I'm sending out the venue details by PM, if you haven't heard from me by close of play Sunday 15th September, drop me a PM and I'll let you know where to go (in the nicest possible way).

Please organise yourselves to be on-site on Sunday morning, as we'll need to walk the area and pick up any debris and leave the venue as we found it. With luck this'll earn us an invite to use the site again.

I can fetch a XL2 (Fireone panel) and a few rails if you want? Of course laptop and software to program it all as we please! :-)

Digger has offered to bring his firing kit down.

Don't think we need the complexity of a programmable system, as we'll need to keep the display fairly simple, as we don't know what materials we're going to have, so we can't plan things out in advance.

But thanks for the offer, much appreciated.

Good stuff.

 

Great to see so many old faces, and good to see a few new ones.

 

Special thanks Charlie and Steve for making the day happen, and all those that turned up to make the day a blast.

Phew that was close.

What Digger said!

 

Big thanks to Steve for arranging the day.

 

Also thanks to Charlie for the use of his excellent facilities - hope the neighbours are still talking to you...

This is the final firework display that ended the experimentation day. It was shot on a small hand-held camera, so not great quality. I was startled by something near the end so my camera work is a bit shaky; I might have missed a bit.

 

Thanks to all those involved. This doesn't do the display justice; you really had to be there...
