SOUTH NEWINGTON BONFIRE NIGHT

When: Sat 5th November start 6pm

Where: Barbours Fields off Sands Lane

FIREWORKS

The format of this bonfire night is based on Balscote village’s event, where each household contributes a big firework or two, which is then combined and managed in one safe display for all the village to enjoy. James Durley and Miles Colegrave have kindly offered to be in charge of the display.

Please bring any fireworks to them by Tuesday 1st November at the latest. This is to allow them time to arrange the display safely.  If you prefer to give a contribution, they will buy the firework selection for you.  Google lists several places nearby where you can buy good displays, such as Fireworks Crazy in Bicester.

Address for firework drop off: Miles Colegrave no 1 Barford Road or James Durley no 4 Barford Road.

BONFIRE

Please add any DRY WOOD only (no wet leaves) to the bonfire site which you will see in the field just off the footpath marked with a flag from October 29th (no sooner.)

The fields are available by kind permission of Julian Barbour and Carmen Guard. Please do not drop litter or metal items such as sparklers in the field to protect nature. The firework and bonfire display is at your own risk.
