There was a great crowd on a dry but very windy weekend. There were climbing parties on Tremadog, Gogarth and Betws-y-Coed. Walkers all over the place including Elidr Fawr, Moel Eilio and even some ventured up Snowdon pretending to be Shepas carrying strange loads. Perhaps they were only training for Greenland next year!

The fire was brilliant. Thanks to Andrew, Dave, Norman, John C, John D (who worked so hard cutting branches) Joanne and Midge and to Steve for ensuring the best bar- b-cue for years. And all who helped.

Special mention for Mark A who introduced ancient Celtic bonfire rituals, Kevin for the suggestion and Julie and team that produced the mulled wine that fortified him.

The regular firework master (and health and safety officer) was missed and shouts of "incoming fire" were heard as one rocket went delinquent!

As we drove home in the dark the sky was illuminated by a moorland fire above Penmaenmawr and I was wondering if someone's delinquent rocket had been responsible.

A very enjoyable week end.

Bring some wood and fireworks but leave your petrol in the car.
