Colchester Rugby Club’s annual fireworks display left many attendees disappointed this year. Spectators complained that the fireworks were smaller and quieter than previous years, and the show was shorter. Some people even demanded refunds, stating that the event was not worth the money. However, the club has explained that the changes to the display were made late due to a threat of legal action from residents and horse owners in the area. The decision was made to use low noise effects to avoid any potential issues. The club has apologized for the late communication and is offering refunds to those who were disappointed. Despite the changes, the event still raised money for MS UK and other local charities. The club praised the police and city council for their support in organizing the event. Dynamic Fireworks, the company responsible for the display, has been commended for their professionalism and the quality of their previous displays. The decision to alter the display this year was out of their control. Attendees who wish to claim a refund can do so through Eventbrite until November 10th. Overall, while the display may not have met everyone’s expectations, the club and Dynamic Fireworks are working to ensure that future events are a success.
