Burwash

Fireworks: Congratulations to everyone who was involved with the Burwash bonfire and firework evening last Saturday. Despite the cold I was told that there was a good turn out. Not being a lover of fireworks, although I enjoy watching from afar, I didn't attend myself and have spoken to some that did and they all agree it was a great evening. The fancy dress costumes were awesome and some quite scary. There was music and food to enjoy too. Watching the fireworks from the safety of my front door step I can tell you they were brilliant very colourful and amazing displays. Well done everyone on all your hard work fund raising and getting it altogether and then clearing up. One or two items were found after the event, if you have lost anything in the field let me know and I will put you in contact with the right person.
