Bonfires?

Good evening all, This being my first 'bonfire night' since moving down to Hertford, from the North, has left me wondering if there are any 'decent' bonfires held in the area around the 5th or weekend close to? Thanks in advance, Mike

Fireworks are good in Bengeo County Primary School, or I've been to the Rugby Club at Stanstead Abbots too where they have a mini fairground and I believe in Ware off High Oak Road they often have a big fireworks display. I also heard a rumour (but not confirmed) that over at Stanborough Lakes in Welwyn Garden they may ressurect the lakeside fireworks again.. but not confirmed...

Mr Meldrew just past the big farm that has the Carboot Sales on the roundabout that can take you to harlow (A414)go down the road leading to the level crossing and on your RIGHT before you go down the hill to the crossing in the grounds there/ could be football rather than rugby, but its a huge pitch and they usually have a fairground and the clubhouse is open for alchoholic refreshments.. Usually advertised in Mercury![:D]

NEVER NEVER NEVER be tempted to go to the Firework spectacular in St Albans (the one at the side of the lakes in Verulam park). The display is for charity and it is always very good, but as it takes place right on the side of the lake, next to the islands that are inhabited by the park's beautiful water birds (including colonies of lovely herons) the birds are absolutely scared to death by it. I cannot believe that the Cathedral people who organise it are unaware of the consequences of their actions - so much for caring christians. Please boycott this display and go somewhere that shows some concern for our wildlife.
