This years Display is at Westmoor Farm again on the A2 near Rainham.
The members of Upchurch Scout Group Fireworks Committee need to call on you for assistance once again. We really need Marshals and General Helpers to ensure the safe running of this years event for everyone.
Our popular Fireworks Display and Bonfire has grown into a large local community event and is our most important fundraising event of the year.
Our primary concern is to ensure we have enough Marshals but we also need assistance to set up on the Saturday and clear up on Sunday. (we always get less volunteers for Sunday!) Any time you can give would be much appreciated. Many hands really do make light work. Children may assist with the clear up but we would prefer not to have Cubs and Beavers around whilst we are setting up and children under 16 are not allowed to be in or around the stalls in the evening.
In order to be a Marshal you must be over 16 and attend a short, simple safety briefing on Saturday and then be available on site from 4:30pm until approximately 8:30pm. There’s no upper age limit so Grandparents can help too provided they are physically fit and healthy!

Marshals must not have children with them for whom they are responsible i.e. if children under 16 are coming with you, there must be another responsible adult to take care of the children. You may well be able to stand with your family but you will need to be available to move where required quickly, particularly in an emergency situation.
So if the idea of standing in a dark field on a cold November night with a silly orange jacket on doesn’t appeal to you – how about we throw in a free family ticket?
