So, here’s the scoop – Colchester Rugby Club’s fireworks display got hit with some serious drama! The organisers had to switch things up at the last minute because of legal threats from nearby residents and horse owners. The annual fireworks show at Raven Park usually draws a big crowd, but this year, it was a bit of a letdown. Instead of the usual dazzling display, they had to tone it down with quieter fireworks, and the show was shorter too. Bummer, right?
Turns out, the club and Dynamic Fireworks had to make a quick decision to change things up to avoid getting into legal trouble. They didn’t have much time to let everyone know about the changes, so a lot of folks were caught off guard. The organisers are really sorry about that and are even offering refunds to anyone who feels let down by the whole situation. If you bought tickets through Eventbrite, you can claim your refund until Friday, November 10.
Despite the last-minute changes, the event still had a team of over 50 staff and volunteers working hard to make it happen. And hey, they managed to raise money for MS UK and other local charities, so it wasn’t all bad. The police and city council even gave them a pat on the back for pulling it off smoothly.
The folks at Dynamic Fireworks are taking it all in stride, saying they’ve always been pro at what they do and that the changes were totally out of their hands. It’s a shame things didn’t go as planned, but hey, sometimes life throws you a curveball, right?
