Was Chatting Earlier With Tim (a.k.a. Ogre) and he was wanting to do something on Bonfire night. Seeing as i have the discision making skills of something that has no brain, and Ogre likewise. Am puting up this post to try and glean some wicked ideas from all you inspired people!

So all and any ideas are welcome.

Don't know about anything organised, but much fun with fire will have to be had!!!

If anyone has anything more constructive I would be interested!!!!!!!

something with fire would be good... erm...

Make a big bonfire! get fireworks n food n drums n fire n music n fire n glowsticks n anything else that makes a noise or gives off light that can be spun or spun to!
Thats me outa ideas...

Lambeth Council has organised 3 fireworks displays on 5 Nov -7.30pm ~ at following parks:
Brockwell Park
Streatham Common
Clapham Common
No bonfires allowed due to safety and environmental risks

There is a bonfire AND fireworks at Wandsworth park though November 5th (Nearest st. Putney Bridge)
Wandsworth Park Fireworks
7.30pm bonfire
8.00pm fireworks
ADM FREE

On November 1st there are bonfires and fireworks on Tooting Bec Common. As most of us will be in Clapham Common that day though, not much good to us

The Clapham Common fireworks are particularly spectacular

But it's usually WAY too crowded for any spinning fun - besides we'd be too busy looking up

Shouldn't there be a Reclaim the Beach around that time ?
If there isn't, shouldn't we do one anyway ?

Ohh what a good idea

Think Durbs is trying to blag us into the Guildford fire works display like we did last year..

Smack bang in the middle of my reading week, duuno whether I'll be in Oxford (they have quite a cool bonfire and fireworks and plenty of space to spin) or stay in merry old London, oh decisions decisions..........

what my friends and I did in our second year was to go to the top of a big green hill at the back of the uni, which had benches to sit on and from where we could see all the fireworks in guildford. I wonder if it's a fire-friendly hill?

hey, is this the guildford display? :
Saturday 8 November 2003
Festival of Fireworks
Painshill Park 5.30pm
Painshill Park will host an incredible display of pyrotechnic wizardry over its magnificent lake and landscapes. The paths will be torchlit around the glittering 14 acre lake and visitors can marvel at the Gothic Temple, the Turkish Tent and Grotto Island lit by night. Commencing with human fire acts, there will be music, fine warming food and an eighteenth century torchlit procession around the lake which will mark the start of one of the most extraordinary firework displays ever seen. Gates open at 5.15pm. Human fire acts including fire eating, fire juggling and fire twirling commence at 5.30pm and the main display will start at 7.30pm.

found it online. anyone know who's doing the spinning? burnt toast?

The one on BlackHeath is really good and Free - Sat 8th Nov at 8pm

Polythene - Nope, that's the Painshill Park Display, the Guildford display is in Guildford Stoke Park to be precise.
I don't know who's spinning there, it (sadly) isn't us and I don't know of any other spinners around this way. I shall have to investigate further.

I remember when I was running around the UK paying for internet service by the minute at cafes that it was really tough to browse "Events and Gatherings" if the location wasn't put in the title.

I know it's you Ads, but for the sake saving the rest of the planet valuable internet time, do try to remember to put the location in the title.

All Love.

OK OK!! *hangs head in shame*

I feel suitably chastised (sp) now thank you NYC!

Are people doing something other than going to Brixton, then?

People all over the world are doing something other than going to Brixton.

Except for a select few.

I'm not going to Brixton or the Bonfire, I'm having an evening with my Mr. instead

so anyone in the guildford are doing fireworks tonight?

If so, could I tag along please?

And so the weary travellers went to Brixton to find other jugglers types that were too stoned to plan something bonfire related to do this year - .....hope you had fun peeps

ive got a mate with a sick camera and we were gonna go out doing some filming around london-guerilla stylee....
just trying to think of anywhere thats safe for spinning, but if theres anyone who's gonna be around & wants to spin let me know asap

u might even get some sick footage!!
