Yes...less than 24 hour to go to the social event of the Autumn! Here’s just a reminder of timings & a few do’s & don’ts:
The bonfire will be lit at 6 pm, before which the mound will be cordoned off. The large triangular fireworks display area will also be cordoned off from 2 pm tomorrow & residents are being asked to stay clear of both.
The Castellain Road gate will be shut at 6.50 pm & the fireworks will start at 7. We understand that, as in previous years, the Crescent display will follow ours at 7.30 pm.
Please would all households on the Castellain, Warrington & Sutherland roads with a view over the Garden close their windows & patio doors by 6.30 pm. In previous years the fireworks company have refused to start the display for security reasons until that has been done.
Only guests accompanied by key-holders will be allowed in & out of the main gate so please ensure you are there to meet any guests you may have invited to the event.
And the Garden rules do apply as normal – specifically no personal fireworks, glassware or pets (who are frequently spooked by the fireworks anyway & should be kept securely indoors).
All that remains is....to enjoy it!

Only 5 days now until our annual Bonfire Night party, this year due to take place on the day itself, November 5th. Our gardeners Gravitas are already doing a great job of building up the bonfire but any further contributions from residents would be welcome to ensure that the blaze is as spectacular as possible. So, if you have any spare wood, please leave it on the mound by tomorrow – but it needs to be free of nails & also dry, or it will never burn! Thank you in advance.

Residents may have noticed that the large plane tree in the centre of our garden was substantially damaged on Sunday night (23rd October 22) during the sudden flash storms. Regrettably the tree will need major work and some of its main boughs resized to rebalance and protect this important structure. Our aim is to ensure the work has been carried out in time for fireworks night on 5th November. In the meantime, all residents are asked to keep well away from the tree as it remains a genuine hazard.
