Well, that was quite a night at the club!
Around 2,500 people attended Fireworks Night 2026 and, after weeks of planning and preparation and the usual pre-event weather watch, it was fantastic to see everyone buzzing about.
The fair was buzzing, food was amazing, and the bars were full. The highlight had to be the 30-minute fireworks display. Drew and his team had the firing down to an art form.
The bars performed to their maximum. We got through an incredible 500 pints of Guinness alone, and that’s before we even start counting everything else that was poured and served during the evening.
But the real first team on the night were our volunteers.
More than 50 volunteers, plus Sophia and her brilliant bar staff, helped make the event possible. From car parking and stewarding to setting up, serving, shifting, sorting, clearing up, and all the rest involved in getting 2,500 people through the gate.
A proper squad effort.
There were probably a few aching legs the next morning, but luckily there was no post-game analysis.
And the result?
We are still counting! There are lots of numbers to add up, but it looks like a great outcome for the club and the charity we supported. We will share more after the whistle has officially blown.
Events like this take a lot of work to put together, but they also show what it’s all about. People coming together, getting their hands dirty, helping each other, and doing what needs to be done.
So to every volunteer, bar staff, organiser and supporter who contributed to the event, thank you.
And to the 2,500 of you who joined us, ate the food, took part in the rides, watched the fireworks, and helped us down 600 pints of Guinness, we thank you too.
Same fixture next season?
Oh, go on then…
SAVE THE DATE: 5th November 2027
The fireworks will be back. The bars will be filled, and we’ll reconvene the squad.
See you at the club!
