Unfortunately due to some pesky land developer, Gunners Park is nearly no more. Those flaming councillors giving the land grabbers prime estate to build expensive housing on, even though it was the MOD's land and thus the Government, I will ignore that fact and blame Southend Council for all my life ills

Annoyed and ignorant from Shoeburyness.

Now for the Good News and Bad News

Good News - The event has been moved to East Beach for the past 5 years or so. And has got better every year with additional things to do not just the fireworks.

Bad News - It is on Saturday 3rd not Friday 2nd. :(

You trying to mislead people?? IIRC Leeboy got this wrong last year, he went to Gunners Park and then found out everyone else was at East Beach. :thump: :hilarious:

Billericay fireworks are the best Ive ever been to. They must spend thousands on it. Its set over lake meadows aswell, really good display would def recommend

I'm doing Gloucester Park in Basildon on Monday night. They were crap last time, but that was 3 years ago. Hopefully, if i'm lucky, be better than Cheltenham Racecourse last year :D

Southchurch Village. I heard Usual Suspect is going to tell his missus that he wants to go out with the lads, should be a good display.

Fireworks - What's the bloody point of them ?

Ban them I say - or at the very least leave them to organised displays on the Saturday before and after Nov5 and the night of Nov 5 itself. Certainly never had them at any other date when I was a nipper. Now it's any old excuse - New Years Eve, Birthday, Saturday. Biggest waste of money in the world. I've never seen why people are so attracted to them. Oh and it's a bloody shame Guy Fawkes never succeeded.

Went to the firework display at Heycroft school as it's always very good. Was even better this year, a couple of fireworks went a bit garrity and shot into the crowd....Very amusing indeed!!

Wifey was a Marshall at the event any both my kids went. As I can throw stones from my house at the school I tried hard but I don't think any of them reached their target :p

I'm sorry to say that due to advancing years I'm with ORM on this one. What's the bloody point? Organise displays yes, ramming a few ex Chinese thermonuclear warheads in your lawn on a Saturday in mid August is a definite NO as far as I'm concerned.

I live in a flat next door to a couple that I swear have a yearly stockpile of the bloody things. All throughout the year they have garden parties for their friends etc and without fail these things are going off well into the night on every occasion. 'Oh look, Bob's opened a beer'...WHOOSH, another one goes off. 'Hey, Janes rat ar$sed and got her baps out' .... WHOOSH, yet another goes whizzing in the air as I wait for the ear splitting bang a few seconds later.

They go on holiday in January and that's going to be my cue to sneak into their garden, lay a couple of pound on home made TNT under their lawn, bide my time and give them a fukin display they won't forget, not to mention a hole in their lawn to rival an open cast coal mine.:mad:
