WIVELISCOMBE’S War Memorial Recreation Ground’s annual firework display went ahead despite the weather forecast and the rain.

The fireworks team put on a magnificent colourful display for those who braved the weather and attended. Comments included:

“Thank you for putting it on when others have cancelled; brilliant display; lovely bonfire; congratulations to the fireworks team.”

The fireworks event is the main fundraiser for the trustee-owned ground, which celebrates 100 years next year.

The management committee would like to say a big thank you to everyone who contributed to the event, to those volunteers who helped out before, during and after, and to all who donated prizes to and sponsored the event in many different ways.
