Combermere Firework Champions 2008

Saturday 9th August 2008 - Combermere Firework, Shropshire

4 of the UK's leading Professional Firework Companies

NEWS - March 2008

A brand new event right at Combermere Abbey - 3 of the UK's best firework companies competing against each other with a 10 minute firework display choreographed to music. The types of fireworks being used by the companies are quite different to the material available to the general public, each company can use category 4 fireworks - those that are for professional use only.

The event is the only one of its type in the UK where the audience have the capability to vote for the team they liked the most using their mobile phone - purely for fun. Texts will be charged at normal rates and a limit of 1 vote per number / SMS Identifer is in place. Each voting number receives a text back with the results.

The guidelines have been simplified to make the event enjoyable for all involved.

1) 10 - 15 minutes of fireworks
2) Must be choreographed to music
3) General restrictions on material used to be agreed by all companies involved
4) Each team must be a professional firework company
