New
Mills Community Bonfire & Fireworks in High Lea Park
on Saturday 3rd Nov 2001.
'Guy' - Steve - was made by Sam.
The
bonfire was lit by Cllr. Lance Dowson, chairman of New Mills
Town Council.
A spectacular display of £4500 fireworks was put on
by 'Quicksilver' in the lower park with many varied sky-burst
effects. Music and PA were provided by Black Diamond.
The
Community Bonfire is organised by a voluntary Bonfire Committee
who raise funds throughout the year.
£1800 was collected at the Bonfire and used to support
three local groups - £1000 to Kinder Mountain Rescue which
they will put toward a stretcher; £500 to St John's Ambulance
Brigade; £100 to New Mills Army Cadets who helped build
the bonfire.
