Despite fears of heavy rain on Bonfire Night, the weather stayed fine, if a little foggy, and the Ware Fireworks Display was once again very successful, attracting a record crowd of 5400.
The event is organised by the 3 Rotary Clubs that meet in Ware - Ware, Amwell and Hertford Shires and all the money raised goes to charities supported by the 3 clubs. This year, the total amount raised is expected to be around £12,000 and Herts Air Ambulance will be a major beneficiary.
It's great to be able to put on an event like this, which is so clearly enjoyed by our local community, while raising significant sums for good causes.
We would like to thank our event sponsor, GlaxoSmithKline, who have generously supported the event for several years, and also local businesses, Moffatt Saunders and Neelakash restaurant. Also thanks to all those who provided help on the night with marshalling, to ensure the large crowd of adults and youngsters could enjoy the fireworks in safety.
Everyone attending the event was given a numbered flyer on entry. If you have the flyer bearing the lucky number 3852, you have won a free overnight stay for two in the luxury Marriott Hanbury Manor hotel.
