Matlock Bath - Illuminations and Fireworks - 27th October

[Sheep_onna_Bandit]

Just a thought for those that haven't been yet (and for those that would like to go again!)

Perhaps there's some mileage in arranging a meet in MB a week on Saturday to see the fireworks?

Not sure about timings yet, but them that can, stick your name down pronto!

And how do you do the "registering thing" anyway?

I'd be up for it, fireworks rule. Almost bought some sparklers the other day. And you get to have lots of toffee as well. Mmmm....

[Guest philgale]

i'll be up for that....been to matlock bath so many times but never to see the fireworks....

might be a trip in the car if its late on...

any idea of time and that....

oh and register thingy is done by admin/mod (no not the scooter kind)

[Sheep_onna_Bandit]

OK, here's the programme of events for the 27th:

It's also the last night of the illuminations, by the way

Sat 27th:

Illuminations and Venetian Nights

Juggling and Fire Shows - 7pm

Parade of Illuminated Boats - 8pm

Fireworks- 9pm

Full details can be found on http://www.derbyshire-peakdistrict.co.u ... ns2004.htm

I was thinking perhaps a 5.30pm meet up - mass visit to the chippy for a Pea Mix or something similar, then troll around a bit until the events start?

I've just realised that I've missed another meet this saturday ( not paying attention ) so I like the sound of this one. Chance to redeem myself so count me in.

[Stu]

not for me would have loved to take the wife too

but im moving house

[MissD]

I'm up for it seeing as i missed out today if anyone in my area wants a lift tough! hehehe j/k if anyone does, shout us.

[Guest]

bet im working & matlock causes too many punctures!

[Fazer Pete]

Me and Mrs Gimp might be going in the car, just trying to convince her that it would be a good night out

[5thWILDHOG]

count me in so far i will be there, may bring kids in the cage

looking forward to seeing you all again and if anyone know somebody who has a spare set of stabilizers for my bike bring them along

[queen bodecia]

Was planning to go to this but struggling to convince any of my mates at the moment. They don't like the idea of staying sober on a Satdy night bless 'em...

[Guest philgale]

i will be working saturday, may be able to come straight form work...

ill give it a go

Its amazing! I went couple of years ago and the firework display was never ending! Theres hot dogs, candy floss, boats on the lake all lit up, fish and chips, pub...... brilliant.

Tell Lynn to come.

What time we meeting? Me and Stew are going to get there mid afternoon and have a wander with the kids....it is hell to get park if you leave it too late.

[Sheep_onna_Bandit]

Mid afternoon sounds like a reasonable plan, especially where parking is concerned.

Those that can make it early enough, let's say

3.30pm - meet at the usual spot (outside the Mining Museum - opposite the Fishpond pub)

For those that can't make that time, I reckon we should rendezvous (sounding all military now) at the same place at the following times to pick up any latecomers:

4.30pm

6.00pm

That way if there are any stragglers/late arrivals, at least we all know where to be to catch up with everyone else!

As things get kicked off around 7pm, the last meet at 6 will give everyone time to get to where's best by the time it starts.

Or

Any suggestions/alternatives welcome!!!

[Guest]

Fab, 3.30pm is fine with me. Might bring housemates with me, hoping someone else will drive so I can have a bevvy. Woooo!

[Guest]

Just occured to me that it's nearly Halloween. I vote we dress up.

[Sheep_onna_Bandit]

Dress up?

I will be dressed up - full leathers, thermals and warm undercrackers!

Besides, I hardly think wazzing along the A6 in full Dracula costume on my bike would work too well!

[Guest]

Those plans seem great to me

[Fazer Pete]

Vicki, talked Lynne into it. We will get ther fairly early so as to be able to park.

[Guest]

Me and family up for it. see you there.

[Guest philgale]

times are fine by me...i will be in the car as i dont wanna ride home at gone 10 coz it will be bloody freezing....
