I was recently sent this, not a great fan of pyro 'musicals' but this seemed pretty impressive. Particularly impressed with the flame bursts.

 

Some of you may remember having our 2014 AGM here, it is currently in danger of being sold off to a commercial enterprise which will all but completely close it to the public.

 

There is a petition to try and stop this.

On Saturday night 24th October and early hours of Sunday morning, Kimbolton Fireworks were victims of a well organised burglary. The thieves stole a very large quantity of Kimbolton mail order display packs which were about to be despatched to customers. A quantity of retail fireworks from our sister company Kimbolton Fireworks (retail) were also stolen. The thieves broke into the rear of the site and forced their way into the office, stealing keys for 2 lorries and a van which were then used in the robbery. Entry was forced into the main warehouse where an organised operation proceeded to remove the most accessible & larger items. Police have captured a sighting of the vehicles in convoy heading west from Ellington along the A14 at 1.52am on Sunday morning.

 

Unfortunately the robbery could not have come at a worst time as we were just preparing for our main despatch to customers. The Kimbolton team are devastated by what has happened and are now working extremely hard to minimise the impact on our customers in a best effort to ensure that they are able to celebrate Guy Fawkes night.

 

A list of some of the stolen goods below:

 

Club Mixed Pack

Jubilee Mixed Pack

Tomahawk Rocket Pack

Sidewinder 12 Rocket Pack

Trident 24 Rocket Pack

Polaris 24 Rocket Pack

Exocet 24 Rocket Pack

Extra Large Roman Candle Battery Pack

Stratus set Piece Pack

Blockbuster Single Ignition

Platinium Selection Box – 4/1

Is anyone on here doing this display ?

 

Or does anyone know who is ?

I've been looking through some of the society's leaflets which IMHO are a bit out of date in some respects. I was thinking maybe it's worth getting some new ones printed.

 

We generally distribute leaflets at the AGM and events such as the MLE firework competitions.

 

I would certainly suggest putting a link to a postal address and possibly a phone number instead of an actual postal address as this address has now changed twice since these leaflets were printed, the info in a email link can be edited fairly easily.

 

I've attached a scan of both sides of our 'current' leaflet, does anyone have any suggestions for artwork and content that they would like considered if we decide to get some new ones printed ?

I was thinking about getting new ones done in time for this years MLE events, plus any music festivals we attend but now i'm thinking wait until after we have a pyro day.......
