Bonfire & Christmas Lights

Hope everyone has a safe bonfire night, long gone are the days of the organized bonfire and fireworks display at Stockport Playing Fields, which is a dame shame if you ask me. However the nearest one I know of is in Ashton on Richmond Street which starts at 6pm it has a fair it is free admission, fireworks start at 8pm. Sorry I don't know of any others, there was one at Debdale Park but that was a few nights ago so it’s a waste of time telling you about it know. There seems to be less and less organized bonfires, when I was a kid the one to go to was on Stockport Playing Fields. You use to go behind the wall so everything was safe, I use to stand go on the climbing frame. Something should be done to bring it back, why should we have to travel to Ashton? The community of Denton don't get together that often, carnival, walks, Christmas Lights surely bonfire night would be good. Why did they stop having it on Stockport Playing Fields? Could we get it back with a partition or something? What does everyone else think?

Don't forget the Christmas lights turn on next week (9th November, 6pm) outside the Town Hall. The fun starts from 6.00pm with Denton Brass Band Christmas Carols and Stage Door Drama School.The evening will finish with a spectacular firework display and maybe even a visit from Santa. I should be attending myself but please if you can get any photographs or even video footage please upload them to the website. I've also just been informed there is also an organized bonfire at Wythenshaw Park tonight, fireworks start at 7:30 with the fire being light at 8:00 again there is a funfair for the kids to enjoy.

If you are going or having your own bonfire please remember to be safe....

Have a safe one,
