5th November 2019
To be honest, we weren’t sure whether people would come to a bonfire in The Courtyard or would prefer to go to one of the bigger, organised events at The Racecourse and the like. We weren’t disappointed as the local community wanted to spend it together, with people they know, in a safe environment.
We have loaded the video taken from the scaffolding to YouTube. This is the best way of taking in the evening and also seeing our Guy getting put on the bonfire. Although it was a cold evening, people had wrapped up warm and came to enjoy themselves.
John – our resident pyromaniac and a volunteer – was in charge of the bonfire. We think he got it spot on between entertainment and safety. And he didn’t burn down The Stables either – result!
A huge thanks to all the volunteers who were involved in making this night such a success. From clearing up The Courtyard, to getting the wood, to managing the bonfire, to sparklers, to toffee apples and popcorn, plus manning our BBQ. Thank you.
