Hi All!

I'm putting out a feeler to see if anyone is interested in going to the Leeds Castle Fireworks Spectacular on Saturday 5th November. This year, the display will be set to music inspired by 'space'.

This **should** be the same day that Steve arranges the regular Maidstone (November) meet .

I've been in touch with the box office at Leeds Castle, and if we can arrange to get 15 or more of us, we can get tickets at the following prices:

Adult - £15 (normally £18)

Child aged 4-16 years - £9 (normally £10)

Under 4's are free

According to the box office, the fireworks start at 1730, and finish at about 1800.

If this is a go, then I would suggest that we could all meet at the Maidstone Services on the M20, by say 1630, and then all go together to Leeds Castle.........

If anyone is interested, then I'm happy to collect names and number of tickets, and then do a group booking. To do this, I would need payment in full (as that is what Leeds Castle want when I book the tickets) by Saturday 1st October (date chosen as there **should** be the regular Maidstone meet on this night - last chance to pay for your ticket in person!). I'll then get tickets out to everyone via the post if you give me your details.

I'm going to be at the September meet so if you are interested and want to pay for your ticket in person, or want more info I'll see you there. If you might not be at the meet, then drop me a PM and I'll add your name to the list and can sort out payment.

If we get the number i might be up for this

Me too Mr Lok

Steve says this could replace the monthly meet for November

Just actually read the post.

If I might suggest the following, Leeds castle can get very busy with people trying to get in to see these fireworks, How about :-

- Meet @ Newnham court pub at 4 pm, then share any cars that have empty seats ( so there aren't too many half empty cars going ).

- Post the fireworks & a plod around, back to Newnham court for food & warmth.

Sounds interesting. 3 maybe's here

Hi Guys,

I've sent PM's to everyone who has posted a maybe........

Hope to hear from you soon.

Justin

Have just transfered £36 to the caymen islands account number you gave me for Kathy & myself

Justin, sorry no intentions of hijacking this thread just that the other september meet thread is locked for some reason???. Not sure if Steve's aware, apologies if you are Steve and there's an obvious reason , there is no thread open for the october meet?? is this going ahead as usual?

Cheers

Mike

Put me down for 3 pls Mr Lok

October Meet posted, & hopefully Justin will have some good news that we managed to get the discounted rate for the Fireworks

Simon told me about this last night, sorry I haven't been on here in a while.

I'm actually already going to the Leeds Castle fireworks with my other half and family but if there is still a Briskoda meal at the pub afterwards me and Abbie will come along to that.

Still no tickets!! :thumbdown:

Sorry for the slow reply - I've been in New Zealand........

Tickets are at my house waiting for me to get back

See you all soon.

YAY !

It's all good!!!

Won't be able to get to the fireworks bit (they had sold out of tickets when I tried) so see you all later at the pub.

What an awesome sight the display was tonight, probably the best fireworks display I've ever seen. Very nice atmosphere & really well choreographed. Car park got a little slippery but 2 litres & 2 legs got us out ok

For some reason, the off-side of my car has mud splatters all the way down, but the near side is pretty clean..... You didn't wipe the mud off when you got back in did you???

Spotted!!

Good display, I had to laugh at some of the songs tenuous links to the "space" theme!

Shame about the traffic control situation, I think if I go again I will park in the Hotel carpark half a mile down the road and watch it!
