THE annual grand firework display, organised by the Lions Club of Tavistock, is taking place on Saturday, November 4.

The display will be held in Tavistock Meadows with kind permission of Tavisock Town Council.

For several years now the club has been using the local company Two Tigers Fireworks to stage the display because of the restrictions involved with the types of fireworks that the club could purchase.

The cost for this year’s display will be around £3,800 and whilst the club runs the event as a community service and not as a fundraiser, it does try to at least break even.

Two years ago, due to increases in the various costs involved, the club had to slightly adjust the entrance charges to compensate — and the same charges will apply this year.

For safety reasons, entrance to the event will be from the college end of the Meadows only and everybody is advised to arrive early and enjoy the Lions’ barbecue and hot drinks whilst waiting for the display to commence.

Full details on entry prices and timings will be shown in next week’s Times or go to www.tavistocklions.org.uk or Facebook page.
