Hi guys,

How's it going?

As you may or may not know, i have started up a fireworks / pyrotechnics display company within the Swansea area going by the name of Pyromax - website currently under construction however those of you who are interested in getting in contact with me may either do so via this message board or via my e-mail which is adam@pyromax.co.uk

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me identify a piece of music which is usualy played every year while the horses are being paraded /introduced to viewers around the paddock during the televised section of the Grand National Horse Races for those of you who are into that kind of thing (i have not heard this piece of music being played anywhere other than this and have no idea as to what the tune is called).

I would be more than greatful if anyone is able to help me with the above enquiry.

Many Thanks,

Adam

Hey Guys!

I will be present crewing with Westcoast Fireworks so if anyone is interested in coming down to cheer us on that would be great! Gates open 5:00 PM, Displays start 8:45PM (Aprox)

Hi guys, the question i am about to ask is probably geared more towards those involved with the proffessional / commercial display side of things but here goes.

I have been asked to put on a display to conclude a new years party at a local dance school and was wondering if the more experienced members of the forum would be able to suggest suitable ways in which lancework / set pieces can be used safely on a hard firing site (car park).

Incase i am unable to reply to those who answer the above question, I am truely greatful towards those who were able to provide an answer for the above enquirey.

All the best!

Hi Guys, just thought id post a quick message to mention a display cake that i believe is deafinately worth mentioning and that i would thoroughly reccomend to anyone looking for a decent air-b**b repeater style display cake.

I approached a local retailer in the search for a decent report / maroon rocket to signal the begining / end of a display that i fired over the guy fawkes period only to find that they had been banned (as i was told by the guy i was talking to over the counter).

He then pulled out a couple of small (ish) 25 shot display cakes that had a picture of a king on the front portrayed against a purple, somewhat psychadelic background.

The cakes were on sale for about ?8 each so i purchased a couple having been reccomended to me by the guy on the other side of the counter.

I am well aware of the 120 DB noise limit that has now been imposed upon Cat 3 (consumer) fireworks and was well impressed with the goods that these small (ish) display cakes provided.

It wouldnt surprise me if these babys were above the 120 DB limit or at least hovering just below, having set off numerous car alarms with 2 of these babies going off at the same time.

I will not state where i bought the above mentioned cakes due to obvious reasons!

Hi guys and gals,

For those of you who may or may not have been aware, i have been on holiday in germany for the past week or so.

We visited the city of Berlin to begin with where we spent the first half of our 2 week stay in germany.

We have now moved on to the city of Hamburg, where we will be staying untill the saturday.

Our stay here in hamburg is fortunate to coincide with the international firework festival which is taking place here in hamburg around the Alster basin over 4 nights from the 1 - 4th September 2005.

Our stay allows the option to attend the 1st and 2nd night of the festival, as we are leaving for our return to the UK on the 3rd September, however it is likely that i would only be able to attend the opening night of the festival due to circumstances beyond my control, but to me, having the ability to attend the opening night is better than not attending the festival at all!

I am unsure of the lineup of this event so any more insite into this event would be much appreciated! (Please note that i do not speak a word of German and rely upon my fellow family members!)

I cant promis anything but i will try and bring you some photos of the event.

For those of you who are interested, i also attended my first ever light, music and fountain display here in Hamburg and what a show!

There isnt much advertisement surrounding either of these events but the great thing is that both events are truely spectacular and are absoloutly free upon entry (providing that you dont drive - both events require a few euros for parking but this isnt a great deal of trouble!)

As mentioned above, both events remain absoloutely free on entry and are truely spectacular and thoroughly reccomended!

All the best!
