Blown away

Monday 12th Oct 09, 10.22pm
All the effort, all the hope & all for nothing. It was a very dejected & downbeat FF team who headed home today after our show at the British Musical Fireworks Championship was cancelled on Sunday night because of bad weather. Steve Boothman and Dave Mannion had spent most of this year preparing our bid. On the day they were helped by dozens of FF crew who descended on Southport to set up the final show of the seven scheduled over the weekend. However the strong wind which blew up during the day just wouldn't die down and the decision to cancel both Sunday shows, ours and Star's, was taken 30 minutes before the scheduled start. Commiserations to everyone concerned, a big thank you to all the Fantastic Fireworks crew who worked so hard & well done to Flashpoint Fireworks who were awarded the prize for being the best of the five shows which did take place. We'll be back!
