An exhibition of work from local schools with drawings, poems and collages with a futuristic theme was on display. There was also a Sci-Fi competition in Comics Unlimited, a sweets competition with prizes donated by Annies Chocolate Emporium ( one of the latest additions to The Arcade ) , and I think I saw R2D2 and C3PO buying camping equipment in the window of Base Camp One.

On the Common preparation for the evenings festivities were under way , setting up the stage and fun fair.
The crowd built up as the evening got darker and the DJ played music, then the Live entertainment began. Firstly a Bee Gees tribute band played a selection of their hits and the Stuart Kenny , Director General of The Heritage Foundation who organise this event made a short speech.
Then the moment that most of the audience had come for the firework display.

Once the fireworks finished many of the audience left to take small children home, but a large contingent stayed to see Black Lace perform hits by Sweet , Mud and many other bands as well as their own hits.
Others wandered around the Common trying the various amusements. These included : roundabouts and a full size carousel with horses, various children's rides , a crooked house and side shows where you could win prizes.
