Hi Richard / Dave and our other trainers,

Well I’ve just comeback from our day long course (posted late) after a weekend of overworking with 4 hours sleep managed to get there on time (shock),

Just a quick review for anyone else wanting to go on this course,

Very down to earth friendly interaction from experienced pyrotechnicians

Lots of hints and tips where picked up from those with experience of the real world problems of delivering displays.

A solid emphasis on safety using practical demonstrations always in a friendly and supportive way (helpful when your not on best of form )

Practical reinforcement always a very effective way of getting first hand help and advice from more experienced firers.

Extremely good value compared with other offerings.

All theoretical work was then carried out in a fun practical way then followed with a sensitive review and feedback where possible.

Overall:

Fun, great value, and will help me to be safer and follow a passion further.

Thanks a lot to all the Team that trained us it was delivered by folks that where as passionate as the rest of us there.

Hi there,

We’re two long term pyro enthusiasts, had many enjoyable (and exciting) days on Ken Kosanke’s Pyrotechnic Chemistry course in Buxton, but we’re a little out of touch with the uk’s pryo scene now.

Unfortunately, we’ve recently received the sad news that a family friend has been diagnosed with a quick acting terminal illness. He’d recently shared a bonfire night with us, lighting a myriad of our favourite fireworks. We had decided to clear out all our remaining stored items, and it was a really good event that he’d really enjoyed, which probably brought back all of his childhood memories.

He was asked what he’d like to do in the time he has left, and his daughter contacted us on his behalf and asked us if we could help him have a private firing in his garden.

We have to get this all organised and ready for the 23rd of March, and would be very grateful for any help, guidance, advice or recommendations on where we can purchase some good quality pyro at reasonable prices, similar or better to some of our favourites listed below (that he enjoyed last time).

Menshun Earthquake Shake, Red Dragon Skymonkeys, Panda Kings Anger, Menshun Autumn Leaves (and other palm like effects), Cosmic Crackling Candles, Panda Bees, Panda Qin Dynasty, display waterfalls, big conics (crackling), crossettes and multibreak bombettes, Blackcat and Vulcan, strobe effects.

Thanks very much, any help much appreciated, Pez and Jake.

PS hi Spotter!
