Swindon Cricket Club would like to thank everyone that attended our Family Fireworks and Bonfire event on Saturday 2nd November. Our volunteer crew once again loved putting on this event in our community and it was great to see so many happy faces in the crowd.
Your support aids us to keep investing in the cricket club, our beautiful pavilion and provide cricket playing and volunteering opportunities for all. Following the events success we will also be making a donation to the Swindon Food Collective, a local charity that 'aims to help people in Swindon, or the surrounding area who are suffering from financial hardship and are finding it difficult to provide food for themselves, their family or dependants'.
As well as thanks to all that attended, we would like to thank the following:
• Main event sponsor, local firm All Set Security who continue to support this event and provided sweets for the children on entry - check them out here: https://allsetsecurity.co.uk/
• Catering partners for the event – Goody’s Bakery who fed the crowd
• Distant Thunder, who provided the main event fireworks and expertly lit the bonfire.
• George Scarrott & Sons Family Fun Fair who entertained the kids for hours.
• Glitter Bugs who painted so many faces and lit up the event with their light up products.
• Stilt Walkers UK who greeted our guests – did you get a photo with them?
• Totally Crazy who entertained the crowds with their baby dinosaurs.
• DJ Jeff Fowler who kept the tunes coming and lit up our historic pavilion.
• Platinum security and St Johns Ambulance for keeping us all safe.
• Swindon Probation Services who helped build our bonfire.
• Our neighbours including STFC, STFC Community Foundation and the public for their understanding.
• And finally, our amazing volunteer marshals, bar crew and organisers.
We hope you had a ‘blast’ and we look forward to seeing you again in 2025, either at one of our other events, at the cricket or at next years fireworks when we will put on another show for the people of Swindon.
