GALACTIC FIREWORKS originally started selling fireworks from a village store in Laughton Common, Dinnington, Nr Sheffield over 30 years ago. I don’t think you could have picked a worse location to sell fireworks, but by putting our customers first and having a knowledge and passion to supply only the very best and most exciting fireworks money can buy eventually lead this little village store to be the diamond in the Galactic Fireworks crown. This store is now what I believe to be the BEST FIREWORKS SHOP IN THE WHOLE OF THE UK, BAR NONE. It still humbles me how many people make the journey from all over the UK to see us in all of our retail stores. I really can’t thank you enough for the passion and effort you yourselves put in to get the very best pyro available. You also should realise you make our day too. We have obviously expanded over the years and now also have 3 further retail shops at Retford, South Elmsall and Ripley. Due to more and more people now buying online, plus of course the fact I love setting off and filming pyro means we have now become one of the UK’s biggest online retailers of fireworks.

But this doesn’t mean any of our principles have changed, in fact, we strive even more to get across our personal service and involvement with every firework we sell. We pride ourselves in being a family owned and run business, I personally try to make sure that each of our staff are fully trained with a deep knowledge of the fireworks that we supply, plus more importantly instil a passion about the product that we sell. In the busy season I actually try to hire other fellow pyromaniacs as they know the product and will be able to help you to achieve a more spectacular yet safe display for your event whether that be a £10 box on your back garden or a £1,000+ display! Throughout this brochure you will see comments etc from staff, forum members and customers alike and every comment is genuine,which again is something that really did make me feel pleased and proud of as I was putting this together. Also I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this brochure, without your help and advice I wouldn’t be half as good as you all make me out to be :) Whatever your needs and requirements we are here to help assist and advise you in any way we can.

TEAM GALACTIC JAMES TURVER

NIGEL TURVER I LOVE FIREWORKS, it’s as simple as that! I am now 48 years old with a terrible memory and yet I remember going into Robinson’s newsagents on School Road Crookes and seeing the big wooden tea chest with pre decimal prices on (yes I must have been only 5), there I stood looking in awe at these wondrous magical items like Traffic Lights and Snow Storm from Standard Fireworks. I also remember my teenage years just as I hit 13 years old the legal age of buying fireworks going up to 16 “DAMN!”. This didn’t stop me going to Redgate’s on the Moor and looking in the big glass cabinets at the varying sizes of the mesmerizing fireworks on show. I suppose now that is why I still just love just feeling and touching these wonderful things and even have a nice little collection of things from the old days myself. Anyway I still love all fireworks from the smallest Catherine wheel to the biggest single ignition box. Irrelevant of size I like to see a firework that makes you look and watch with your heart racing while producing wondrous effects that reflect in the size and the price that you have paid for the firework. I will also hand on my heart assure you that no one will put a much effort into making sure the fireworks that you buy from Galactic Fireworks are the best you can buy. THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL GUARANTEE! Thanks I hope you enjoy our brochure and web site. Nigel Turver 44

Hi, i’m James and i’ve been lucky enough to have grown up around my dads firework business so have been involved right from a child! have also been to China twice and loved it there, seeing the sights and of course lots and lots of pyro. It is a real privilege to be able to supply the UK’s finest pyro to our wonderful customers. When I am outside of work I enjoy watching football, reading and online gaming.

HARRY TURVER I have worked for Galactic Fireworks for two and a half years, however being the son of the owner I have always grown up working with fireworks, learning about them, what they do and how they perform. Working at Galactic really is a pleasure, providing a product to our customers that we regard are the best anywhere in the U.K. at the best prices allows us to know they are going to be 100% satisfied. Along with this having a whole team that have a passion and love for fireworks allows us to be confident that we have a good understanding of all aspects to which we can pass onto our customers and provide them the very best, whether it is from a pack of sparklers to a professional display.

MANDY TURVER (& ANNIE)

Hi, i’m married to the pyro mad Nigel! I work in the Dinnington branch where I love serving the many customers that we get who travel from near and far. Yes i’m a girl that loves pyro but only watching and never lighting. When i’m not at work or looking after the guys I enjoy going to a Zumba classes. The picture shows Annie who is my son James’s dog.


LUKE GREAVES

JAKE BROOKES

I’m a big friendly giant that loves his pyro!

There are two key things that I really love about Galactic Fireworks that set us apart from the industry;

I mostly help Mandy in the Dinnington store around busy season but also sometimes help with deliveries etc. I’m a father of two who enjoys an occasional game of poker plus love my food. I am the self proclaimed ‘Biggest Eater ‘on Team Galactic. Here’s my picture with my long term girlfriend Lindsey.

NIGEL BELLAMY

I’ve been involved with Galactic Fireworks since its very first conception many years ago. I am interested in both cars and motorbikes but this year i’m extremely pleased to say that I have become a Dad having my son Theo! I am enjoying family life with the rest of my family Chillette, Molly & Tom.

DAVID JOHNSON

David here from the Ripley shop, i’ve been in business for nearly 10 years and Nigel has taught me everything I know. I have always loved fireworks my favourite is Magical Palms, every time I watch that firework I am simply blown away thinking how can you buy better for the price it sells for? I’m married to Joanne and have 2 little girls and when they aren’t costing me any money I love going out for a curry with the Galactic crew, but they can never keep up with the pace, especially Nigel, he talk’s a good talk but he can’t walk the walk.

ASHLEY AUDIS I’ve worked for Galactic Fireworks for quite a few years now and for each year that passes my passion for fireworks grows. I thoroughly enjoy the delight on our customer faces when returning after their display had gone exactly how they wanted it to, something I strive to achieve through building each customers own display to their own requirements. Call me any time at our South Elmsall Branch

1. You aren’t just dealing with a team of people doing a job, which is the case with the vast majority of businesses nowadays. Instead you’re dealing with a working family who care and will do our upmost to ensure that you receive a customer experience that is second to none. 2. We ourselves are genuine firework enthusiasts led by the biggest pyromaniac in the UK, we try to translate this love and passion for fireworks into our select product range. The satisfaction we all get knowing our customers are going to walk away and love our fireworks is a truly fantastic feeling.

PAUL PHILIPS I’ve been at Galactic since 2006; I was instantly hooked firework from the beautiful Fiery Eye wheel to the ridiculously loud Mother Of All Bombs. My own personal satisfaction comes from helping customers in putting together their own display. It looks like the fireworks are now in the blood as my youngest son Travis is also a firework geek, and his favourite at the moment seems to be Mars Grandads (he’s 2 by the way). So pop in to the Retford store as i’m always happy to help make sure you get the best fireworks display available for your budget! And, if you’re really lucky, you might just get one of my famous Yorkshire cups o’ tea.

JASON JOVANOVIC I used to work for Nigel & Mandy many years ago when they where just a small retail shop in Dinnington. I am pleased to say that I am now back in full term employment with Galactic Fireworks. I like to think I’m the best at making teas and coffees etc.

PAUL HYMAS I’ve been a part time employee of Galactic fireworks for over 6 years now. I was originally a customer because I can honestly say there’s simply no need or point to go anywhere else. All of the Galactic shops offer the friendliest service, the best value for money and, pound for pound, the best selection of fireworks there is... Guaranteed! I have worked at all the shops over the years so I’m not sure which shop I will be in for 2014 but whichever it is I cant wait.

TODD WHITLEY Hi, I’m Todd, I help out Nigel and the team around the busy bonfire season to simply enable me to buy more pyro for my bonfire night fireworks extravaganza! Last year I had so many fireworks we ended up firing them at a local pub which was fantastic, they had never seen such quality pyro in their life before! When you buy from Galactic you really do enter into a world of pyro like no other provider anywhere in the UK.

TYPES OF

TYPES OF

FIREWORKS MINE A mine is a ground firework that expels stars and/ or other garnitures into the sky from the ground upwards. Shot from a mortar, a mine consists of a canister with the lift charge on the bottom with the effects placed on top. Mines can project small reports, serpents, small shells, as well as just stars. One of the best mines i’ve ever seen is the Diamond Mine that we sell for under £10.

ROMAN CANDLE A Roman candle is a long tube containing several large stars, which fire at a regular interval. These are commonly arranged in fan shapes or crisscrossing shapes, at a closer proximity to the audience. Some larger Roman candles contain small shells (bombettes) rather than stars.

FOUNTAIN

WHEEL

A ground device that emits showers of sparks several feet in the air. A common fountain is the cone fountain, where the enclosing tube is in the shape of a cone.

A wheel is a stationary device that spins and creates a circular ring of fire and sparks. These are generally nailed to a pole or a tree before they are lit. You should always be careful to make sure the area is free from flammable debris before you light a wheel as the sparks can carry 3 metres or more.

ROCKET

SPARKLER

This is a pyrotechnic firework made out of a paper tube packed with gunpowder that propels itself using a motor into the air in order to fly.

A stick with a coating of pyrotechnic composition that creates sparks when lit. While sparklers are generally considered safe, they are responsible for over eighty percent of the injuries due to fireworks each year!

Types of rockets include skyrockets, which have a stick to provide stability during airborne flight. NEVER fire a rocket with a missing or broken stick!

CAKE A cake is an item that has a single fuse which once lit goes on to light several tubes in a sequence, these fire a series of aerial effects. Tube diameters can range in size from 6mm to 30 mm, and a single cake can have up to 5000 shots. The variety of effects within individual cakes is often such that they defy descriptive titles and are instead given cryptic names such as “Crimson Dynamite”, “Pyrotastic”, “Hercules”, and “Magical Palms”, to name but a few. Some of the heaviest cakes that we sell can weigh up to 10Kg’s each.

6

EFFECTS STAR

A small pellet of composition that produces a pyrotechnic effect. Stars are used in cakes, rockets, roman candles, and fountains to produce streaks or light, pulses, long golden tails, and other aerial effects. A single firework could contain several hundred stars.

SALUTE OR REPORT

Fireworks intended to produce a loud report rather than a visual effect. Many fireworks produce both a report and effects. Titanium may be added to the flash powder mix to produce a cloud of bright sparks around the flash. Salutes are commonly used in large quantities during finales to create intense noise and brightness. Can also be referred to as maroons.

CHRYSANTHMUM

It has a spherical break of coloured stars, similar to a peony, but with stars that leave a visible trail of sparks.

WILLOW

It is similar to a chrysanthemum, but has less of an ongoing flare after ignition of the shell. In addition, the flame trails gradually extinguish, and in doing so, falls creating a willow branch-like effect.

FALLING LEAVES

A beautiful aerial effect that consists of glowing embers that tumble slowly in the air, flickering back and forth as they fall back to earth. The finale on our Mayhem is a typical example of this.

TOURBILLION

Another name for a serpent. A tourbillion is a type of star that spins in the sky and gives off large quantities of gold, silver, or white light. These are generally constructed as a small paper tube with holes on each end that allow it to spin.

GLITTER

A tail effect that contains flashes of light and small explosive bursts lasting several seconds.

CRACKLE EFFECT

Fireworks effects that sounds like hundred of snaps or crackles.

BROCADE

A spider like effect in the sky, much like fine lace. The brocade effect is generally a gold or silver tail effect. Most brocade effects use glitter to produce the long brocade tails.

PALM

A firework containing a relatively few large comet stars arranged in such a way as to burst with large arms or tendrils, producing a palm tree-like effect.

KAMURO

Kamuro is a Japanese word meaning “Boys Haircut” which is what this effect looks like when fully exploded in the air. A dense burst of glittering silver or gold stars which leave a heavy glitter trail and are very shiny in the night’s sky.

CROSSETTE

Crossette is an effect characterized by a “star” which quickly shoots outward in four directions from the initial comet. When multiple crossettes are fired simultaneously, the result is a mass of criss-crossing trails, hence the name “crossette”.

SPIDER

A firework containing a fast burning ailed or charcoal star that is burst very hard so that the stars travel in a straight and flat trajectory before slightly falling and burning out. This appears in the sky as a series of radial lines much like the legs of a spider.

HORSETAIL

Named for the shape of its break, this shell features heavy long-burning tailed stars that only travel a short distance from the shell burst before free-falling to the ground.

FISH

Shots that have the property of launching the flaming debris all over the sky, what gives them their uniqueness is their ability to send flares swarming in random directions.

Dear Nigel I do not normally feel the need to either praise or complain about companies whenever I deal with them but in the case of buying fireworks from Galactic Fireworks I felt I just had to say something, From the time we first spoke on the phone and discussed what I required I knew I was not just dealing with someone who sold fireworks but someone who had a passion and knowledge that I would bet is second to none! You basically fitted the fireworks in to suit my budget of £900. Everything you did and recommended was spot on and the fact you numbered all the fireworks up for myself was again brilliant! Can I also add that the event has now been held for the past 4 years but has never received as

ZERO SIXTY 18

many positive comments as this year our first year of using Galactic but most certainly not our last. Finally the event is organised to raise money for local charities and this year I am pleased to say we had approximately 600 people attend plus sales of hot dogs and burgers meant we made a profit of over £500. So all in all brilliant!. I can’t say more than recommend you wholeheartedly to anyone else wishing to buy fireworks for their event. Many Thanks John Bray

We eat, sleep and live fireworks! I think this enables us to spend so much time talking and discussing what are the best fireworks in the UK, while keeping an eye on the prices.

WE ARE ALL

WITH

There is no one importer in the UK who has all the best fireworks. We import our own fireworks but those alone own are not good enough, it’s absolutely essential to have a range of fireworks from a multitude of manufacturers as they all make good, bad and average fireworks. I won’t mention companies that sell rubbish as we won’t even deal with them.

! S K R O W E R I F

We pick out just the very best - and I don’t just mean having pretty labels! We set off everything we sell and rate it before it makes it into our range. The reason we have so many returning customers is that we have been doing this same proven system for over 30 years and we certainly know a thing or two about getting the very best fireworks from the best importers for the very best price anywhere in the UK!

About halfway through it begins to kick and really flex it’s muscles to show us what it can do. Rapid zig-zag fanned red pearls with white trails spreading across the sky producing some brilliant white spinning torbillions through which rise purple and red golden willow bursts.

MAYHEM IS IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE ALTOGETHER. Now let me start with the amazing purple and gold mine effect that fires throughout the duration of the cake creating 2 levels. Shooting through this mine are dazzling golden palms which fall through the sky like comets, with huge green starbursts that really fill the sky. Finally the crème de la crème effect are the falling leaves that burst just underneath the golden palms and fall down to the mine, transitioning through various colours as they descend, and this unique effect creates a tower of colour and noise. Yes its extremely quick lasting only 20 odd seconds but that’s what makes this an ideal finale piece!

Dear Galactic Fireworks, I am a bit of a pyromaniac and have been both organising and putting on displays for both myself and any friends that might want me to do one for them. I have heard of Galactic Fireworks but as they are Northern based I’ve never bought anything from them as its a 300 mile round trip for me but I for the first time this year decided to risk having my fireworks sent mail order. Well what can I say? Firstly you have without a doubt the best web-site in the UK. The videos that you do of the actual firework being fired are again the best! The truth and honesty about what you stand for and supply to your customers shines through as well, now I feel as though I am going over the top in praising you but credit where its due! I ordered the fireworks on the Saturday and they arrived in perfect order and so well packaged! As for the fireworks, yes, I have

32

bought many items you sell locally and yes they obviously perform the same but the truth is your prices are much lower even after taking into account the delivery charge (and thank you for the free Resurrection rocket box you sent which actually was worth double the delivery cost!) The fireworks were amazing and even though I had watched the videos and knew many pieces from previous firing they still never fail to blow me away each time I fire them again in the flesh. I can only repay you by writing this letter of thanks and stressing to any other pyromaniac out there to buy with confidence! My only regret is I feel I should have been doing the 300 mile journey to Galactic Fireworks long before being able to order of the internet. A Huge Thanks To You All, Jeff Longthorn

Well, that’s now all changed for 2014 as just look what we have sourced for you lovely pyro lovers out there!

BEFORE YOU START LOOKING AT OUR

DISPLAY KITS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO READ!....

A D L O H O T T N A ...SO, YOU W

? Y A L P S I D S K FIREWOR

WELL, THE TWO SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO KNOW, TO HELP YOU GET THE BEST FROM YOUR EVENING ARE SIMPLY...

1. HOW LONG DO YOU WANT IT TO LAST? I will explain why; we will start with the time factor. I can tell you from personal experience that if you are going to put on a fireworks display for Bonfire Night then a 20-minute show is just about perfect. However, if your display is for a wedding or similar celebration where the fireworks are not the main focus of the evening then a 10-minute show is more than enough. Now you may initially think that doesn’t sound long enough but I assure you just go outside tonight and sit and look up to the sky for 20 minutes and it’s definitely long enough! That said, this assumes that you are putting on a display that is not a family gathering where timing is not as essential, and often there are breaks between each firework being fired? That changes the time considerably as you might want the fireworks to last a couple of hours, two hours of constant fireworks - even to a pyromaniac like myself sounds excessive, but two hours of setting off a few fireworks with intervals in between can actually be really good fun! If that’s the case then maybe, over the two-hour time frame, you could end up setting off 30-40 fireworks.

There is no fixed time for how long a firework lasts, but we sell ones that are as short as 15 seconds all the way to ones that last as long as 3 minutes. I will say is that if I picked out 12 random fireworks then you will end up with roughly 10 minutes of burn time, and I say burn time as the actual duration of the event depends how you are setting them off. If they are all fired back to back your display will last 10 minutes. If you put a 20 second gap between each firework then the overall display time now goes to 13 minutes. So, once you decide on duration we then have to fit the fireworks to match that. If we work on me wanting a 15-minute display with a budget of £400 to spend I need approximately 18 fireworks to fill the 15 minutes, so if I divide my £400 by 18 this gives me an average of £22.22 per firework. I would then need to pick out the fireworks, or even better still, just pick out a ready made kit to suit the time and budget from the Galactic website!

2. WHAT BUDGET ARE YOU WORKING TO? One obvious consideration to this are rockets, these are quite expensive items that only last approximately 6 seconds a piece, so be careful not to go overboard with them. Also, I recommend that 20-25% of your budget should be spent on your finale as it’s essential you have a wonderful ending to your display, please be sure to take this in to account when planning the budget for your show. I have explained all this as I feel you really should understand that you really do get what you pay for with fireworks! Every year I get the same questions asked to me like, “I see you have a £500 kit with 15

fireworks in it but another company have one with 30 fireworks in it for the same money” It just doesn’t work like that!

I could sell you 120 fireworks for £120 or just 1 firework for £120! Yes that sounds stupid but it’s true, we could have 4 x Neptune Selection Boxes, each containing 30 fireworks and costing £29.99 per box. Instead we could have just one Flaming Phoenix for £129.99! The number of fireworks in a pack is completely irrelevant in relation to its value!

And, while I am on the subject of perceived value, many of our competitors will put a total number of fireworks next to a pack, but actually put in half a dozen packets of sparklers and count those as 30 fireworks! We really believe this is just a con! One more thing you should be wary of is the total number of shots in a firework. We sell the Armageddon which some people love and buy simply as it has 500 shots, however, it is nowhere near as effective as the 49 shot Sapphires for instance. Please just ask us if you want honest, unbiased information about any of our fireworks. I suppose if you’re already a customer of ours you will know most of what i’ve written here already, if not, then I will say what I always say to anyone who’s interested in buying fireworks, try us once...we will not disappoint!

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU HAVE AN ADEQUATE SAFETY DISTANCE. THAT’S 5 METRES IF SETTING OF CAT 2 FIREWORKS (NORMALLY YOUR SMALL BOXES) AND 25 METRES (NORMALLY YOUR SINGLE CAKES OR ONES PUT TOGETHER IN A KIT)

52

ALL FIREWORKS WILL COME CLEARLY MARKED OF WHAT THE REQUIRED SAFETY DISTANCE IS. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS ALL FIREWORKS WILL BECOME CE APPROVED AND THE SAFETY DISTANCES WILL BE CHANGING TO 8 METRES FOR CAT 2 AND 15 METERS FOR CAT 3 FIREWORKS.

If your budget stretches and you have the confidence to set up a twin zoned firing site while obviously maintaining the correct 25 metre safety distance from your audience then this is the kit for you. The best way to set this display up is a single display site with a duplicate around 10-20 metres further away, obviously both the same distance from the audience. When firing the display have a lead firer on one site and a 2nd firer on the other. The 2nd firer should simply follow the lead as to which firework to light next. This is a pyromaniacs delight as there are simply no weak points, it will impress from start to end ,containing 56 individual fireworks that will be fired as 25 items. Make sure you have plenty of stakes etc when buying this kit.

Box of 10 ECO Chinese Flying Lanterns These hand crafted 100% biodegradable lanterns contain absolutely no metal parts whatsoever! The fuel element is held in place with an ECO friendly flame retardant string. The paper type material is a new material that again is ECO friendly and 100% Biodegradable. Our ECO lanterns are truly environmentally friendly and do not endanger the well being of animals in any way! ALSO AVAILABLE TO BUY AS SINGLES IN STORE On a final note we have in the past sold many different types and kinds of lanterns, some better than others. However I am pleased to say these are without a doubt the best we have had as the fuel cell is the best I have seen, lighting very easily and then burning to a full flame within seconds, filling the lantern with hot air in a matter of seconds rather than many others that take well over a minute.

Around September in 2011 I was having a discussion with my son James saying there just isn’t anywhere that enthusiasts of category 3 fireworks (category 3 are display fireworks that you the general public can buy but they do require a 25 metre safe viewing distance) can get together and talk about their passion. I was a member of other firework forums but these tended to be for professional display operators of category 4 fireworks (used by trained individuals and only available to professional display operators), so, with that in our mind, our fireworks forum idea began to be developed! We really didn’t really know what route it was going to take at first, but within a couple of months we had decided that the forum should be an exclusive Galactic Fireworks Forum for customers and supporters of Galactic Fireworks, and all firework enthusiasts. Over the last 2 years the forum has been a great help to us as a company, so thanks to everyone who contributes especially those who play the quizzes most weeks. More importantly though its now somewhere where I can now go and talk to other enthusiasts about fireworks. In fact let me rephrase that! It’s somewhere I can now go and talk to friends about all sorts of rubbish!

HERE’S A LITTLE INFO ABOUT SOME OF OUR

HARDCOREFORUM

S C A I N A M O R Y P

PYRO PETE

I am proud to say that I have been a customer to Galactic fireworks for many years now, and there are some simple reasons for this, firstly Galactic is a family run business and this in turn gives you a personal service that is hard to beat, no hard sell and nothing is too much trouble.

I have been a member of the Galactic Fireworks forum for over a year now, If you are into fireworks then this is the place to be. I have met a great bunch of friends with pyro in common, On the Galactic forum there is something going on all year round, regular competitions, auctions, quizzes and occasional meet ups or just a chat, Then there’s the fireworks from Galactic, be assured you will get the best fireworks for any display at great value, The Galactic staff are really helpful and friendly and they know their fireworks. Look forward to meeting you on the forum. Pyro Pete (Pete Fletcher) from Stamford, Lincolnshire

Hi, I am Ian STARPYRO who along with Tony (Tony S) are A1 Fireworks in the North east of England, we love our pyro hobby that enables us to offer budget firework displays, we also try and offer a fantastic show at a discount price.

84

I have purchased my fireworks from Galactic for the past few years (wish I had before) and find the quality and friendly service second to none.

Alternatively you can go online and browse fireworks at a more leisurely fashion from the comfort of your home or wherever you are. I spend hours on their web site!

One of my favourite fireworks is Jurassic Storm, a 55 shot cake from the Cosmic NG range.

My name is Kevin or better know as BANDIT on the Galactic Forum.

Hi All, my name is Jim Pitcher (Pyrojim) and I am I firework maniac.

Knowledgeable staff serving you plus videos of all the fireworks that they sell so you can see before you buy.

I have been using the Galactic Forum and the shop in Dinnington since October 2011, and I would like to say that all the fireworks that I have purchased have been second to none. One of my all time favourite fireworks is the Battle of Midway with a total of 53 stunning shots!

Yes, I log on most nights, and usually its just idle chit chat about what we’re having for tea and who’s doing this and that with a bit of pyro talk thrown in for good measure, its kind of a Facebook for us pyro geeks as we also have a chat box on the forum which is ideal for this idle chit chat. I think our own little forum has now settled in nicely, if you do decide to join us you will see we run monthly quizzes and auctions as well as have get togethers 3-4 times a year. The forum has without a doubt created a group of like-minded people who love pyro and have really hit it off as regards to friendships etc. I can only say if you do build up the courage to come and join in and come to our get togethers we will all welcome you with open arms and try and make you as welcome as we can! Again, we don’t bite, we are NOT professional firers (even though I should point out there are a couple of them), we are simply enthusiasts who love pyro, it’s not how much money you spend it’s how much you love your pyro that Galactic Fireworks sells when on the forum :) Nigel (Galactic Nigel)

Hello, I’m Rob, or BrocadeKnight on the Galactic forum. I previously worked in the professional display side of the fireworks industry, and continue to fire substantial private shows for family and friends (oh, OK, for ME really!!!). After years of continually researching the consumer fireworks market, I can attest that Galactic’s range is impeccable, many of the larger cakes and rockets would hold their own against professional class (cat 4) fireworks. But value for money and personal service are what separate Galactic from the rest!

TECHI Hi my name is

Techi (Ryan)

Galactic Firew orks provide th e best pyro in the UK. They are my fa vourite company for cu stomer service and I go back year afte r year becaus e I know I’ll be satisfied w ith the firewor ks I order. The firework fo rum is an amaz ing place to discus s fireworks, en joy some amazing deals and have grea t fun with their quizzes an d auctions.”

I’m Martin (Pyro Daddy) Where do I start with Galactic Fireworks? I would say with the people. This family run business (well mostly family, although the rest of the staff/team seem to be pretty much family too!) works really well, there’s always friendly banter that can only come from a very close family. You always get a genuine sense that they care about what you buy and that you enjoy yourself, not just for the return business either! Raging Spiders is one of my favourite fireworks it’s so different to anything else. Excellent cake, top marks to the bloke who thought up this one!

Hi, I’m Graham452 from the Galactic Forum. I’ve only bought my fireworks from Galactic for the past 2 years now. I use Galactic for a number of reasons, they have an outstanding range of pyro, offer great value for money, and most importantly, are friendly, helpful and informative. Nigel, James and the rest of the team are always friendly and welcoming. The members of the forum are a great group of people, and meets throughout the year are a great excuse to let of some quality pyro and have a drink or two! My favourite firework of last year was Treasure Chest from Magnum. The great range of effects, along with a bargain price, make this a must have for me!

My name is Michael Sutherland I am one of the many pyro geeks who have purchased my fireworks through Galactic Fireworks, you couldn’t meet a more friendlier bunch of people, as with the fellow pyromaniacs you meet while joining the Galactic Forum, Plus the range of fireworks is unreal, like Hercules, one of my all time favourites, what I call a display in a box! As a pyromaniac I’ve brought fireworks for over ten year, but haven’t ever come across a shop like it, you’re ever spoilt for choice.

FIREWORK EVENTS

BONFIRE NIGHT

5

November

th

In 1605 Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators attempted to blow up the Parliament of the United Kingdom with 36 barrels of gunpowder in the cellars of Westminster Hall. On 5 November, Fawkes was arrested and Parliament was saved. That night is now celebrated as bonfire night by filling the sky with exploding fireworks, and by burning an effigy of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire. Remember, remember the fifth of November. Gunpowder, treason, and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

‘Festival of Lights’ in India Diwali is the most popular festival in India, which broadly celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Primarily symbolized in the mythological epic of Ramayana in which the Hindu God Rama defeats his demonic adversary Ravana. Customary traditions include offering prayers to the Gods in the morning and exchanging sweets with friends and neighbours. During the night the houses are adorned with small lit oil lamps and colourful lights and then the entire family participates in the display of fireworks.

New Year’s Eve HOGMANAY IN SCOTLAND

Major cities around the world now host spectacular firework displays on New Year’s Eve. However in the UK it’s still not as popular as Bonfire Night. The beauty of New Years Eve is so many people all set there fireworks off simultaneously thus making it a great spectacle to behold.

GUY FAWKES (13 APRIL 1570 – 31 JANUARY 1606), ALSO KNOWN AS GUIDO FAWKES, WAS A MEMBER OF A GROUP OF PROVINCIAL ENGLISH CATHOLICS WHO PLANNED THE FAILED GUNPOWDER PLOT OF 1605. Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when he was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes later converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years’ War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformers. When he returned to England an associate of his Thomas Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The first meeting of the five central conspirators took place on Sunday 20 May at an inn called the Duck and Drake, in the fashionable Strand district of London. Robert Catesby was the leader who planned to assassinate the Protestant King James and replace him with his daughter, third in the line of succession, Princess Elizabeth. One of the conspirators, Thomas Percy, was promoted in June 1604, gaining access to a house in London that belonged to John Whynniard, Keeper of the King’s Wardrobe. Fawkes was installed as a caretaker and began using the pseudonym John Johnson, servant to Percy. By December 1604 the conspirators were busy tunnelling from their rented house to the House of Lords. They ceased their efforts when, during tunnelling, they heard a noise from above. Fawkes was sent out to investigate, and returned with the news that the tenant’s widow was clearing out a nearby undercroft, directly beneath the House of Lords. The plotters purchased the lease to the room, which also belonged to John Whynniard. Unused and filthy, it was considered an ideal hiding place for the gunpowder the plotters planned to store. According to Fawkes, 36 barrels of gunpowder were brought in. Fawkes’s final role in the plot was settled during a series of meetings in October. He was to light the fuse and then escape across the Thames. The King ordered a search of the cellars as it had been brought to his attention by one of his spies that underneath Parliament there was something afoot. In the early hours of 5th November Guy was found leaving the cellar, and arrested. Inside, the barrels of gunpowder were discovered hidden under piles of firewood and coal.

Fawkes gave his name as John Johnson and was first interrogated by members of the King’s Privy Chamber, where he remained defiant, but the king ordered a more intense torture ritual, to reveal the names of his co-conspirators. The room in which Fawkes was interrogated subsequently became known as the Guy Fawkes Room. Fawkes’s signature of “Guido”, made soon after his capture, is a now famous, when you compare it to the scribble that was a scrawl post torture. Fawkes revealed his true identity on 7 November, and told his interrogators that there were five people involved in the plot to kill the King. He began to reveal their names on 8 November, and told how they intended to place Princess Elizabeth on the throne. Although it is uncertain if he was subjected to the horrors of the rack. The trial of eight of the plotters began on Monday 27 January 1606. Fawkes shared the barge from the Tower to Westminster Hall with seven of his co-conspirators. The King watching in secret, among the spectators as the Lords Commissioners read out the list of charges. Fawkes was identified as Guido Fawkes, “otherwise called Guido Johnson”. He pleaded not guilty, despite his apparent acceptance of guilt from the moment he was captured. The jury found all of the defendants guilty of high treason. The Attorney General Sir Edward Coke told the court that each of the condemned would be drawn backwards to his death, by a horse, his head near the ground. They were to be “put to death halfway between heaven and earth as unworthy of both”. Their genitals would be cut off and burnt before their eyes, and their bowels and hearts removed. They would then be decapitated, and the dismembered parts of their bodies displayed so that they might become “prey for the fowls of the air”. On 31 January 1606, Fawkes and three others – Thomas Wintour, Ambrose Rookwood, and Robert Keyes – were dragged (i.e. drawn) from the Tower and to the scaffold, Fawkes was the last one up. He asked for forgiveness from King and state, and aided by the hangman began to climb the ladder to the noose. Although weakened by torture, Fawkes managed to jump from the gallows, breaking his neck in the fall and thus avoiding the agony of the latter part of his execution. His lifeless body was nevertheless quartered and, as was the custom, his body parts were then distributed to “the four corners of the kingdom”, to be displayed as a warning to other would-be traitors. On 5 November 1605 Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King’s escape from assassination by lighting bonfires, An Act of Parliament designated each 5 November as a day of thanksgiving for “the joyful day of deliverance”, and remained in force until 1859. Although he was only one of 13 conspirators, Fawkes is today the individual most associated with the failed Plot. In Britain, 5th November has variously been called Guy Fawkes Night, Guy Fawkes Day, Plot Night and Bonfire Night; the latter can be traced directly back to the original celebration of 5 November 1605. Fireworks accompanied bonfires from the 1650s onwards, and it became the custom to burn an effigy.


PRESENTS...

S K R O FIREWETITION P M O C 14 TH OCTOBER 20 4

DININGTON RUGBY CLUB

AT

GALACTIC FIREWORKS AND MEMBERS OF THE GALACTIC FIREWORKS FORUM ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT WE PROBABLY RUN THE VERY BEST CONSUMER FIREWORKS COMPETITION IN THE UK, BAR NONE! ON THE NIGHT WE FIRE OFF APPROXIMATELY £7,000 WORTH OF PYRO, THE MONEY SPENT MAKES THE EVENING EXCITING, BUT IT’S THE WAY THE FIREWORKS ARE FIRED THAT MAKES IT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER! So, on the Saturday the 4th of October at Dinnington Rugby Club, five teams will compete at putting on the very best display they can while sticking to a strict budget of £800 (last year this was £650). All fireworks used in all displays are consumer fireworks that are bought exclusively from the Galactic Fireworks website. Each display lasts approximately 8 minutes, this keeps it short yet produces maximum impact for the budget they are working to. There will be a short break of 3-4 minutes between each display to catch your breath. We predict the first of the competition displays to be fired at 8:30pm with the professional display being fired at 9:30pm

It’s really not just a case of ‘right let’s go spend £800’, it is down to the 5 teams of 3 people who really try their upmost to put on a display that will blow the audience away! The thoughts and ideas of just what to fire and how to fire it are so important to each team member. Galactic Fireworks will complete the evening with a few of there famous experiments firing certain fireworks off in multiples at around 9:30pm after the 5 teams have competed. This event is completely free of charge but we do allow Dinnington Rugby club to charge a parking fee which all goes to the running and upkeep of this great venue.

THE BEST CONSUMER FIREWORKS COMPETITION IN THE UK!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REMEMBER IT IS AN

OFFENCE TO:

1. LET FIREWORKS OFF IN A PUBLIC PLACE A public place is anything

other than your own property such as parks, the street or at school.

2. FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 TO POSSESS FIREWORKS IN A PUBLIC PLACE Other than a sparkler. 3. POSSESS CATEGORY 4 DISPLAY FIREWORKS BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A PROFESSIONAL

4. SET OFF FIREWORKS BETWEEN 11PM AND 7AM

Apart from on 5 November, Diwali, New Year’s Eve and the Chinese New Year

5. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR SHOPS TO SELL FIREWORKS WITHOUT AN APPROPRIATE LICENCE

Shopkeepers must also display a notice for customers, explaining the law.

STORING FIREWORKS SOME HELP AND ADVICE: THERE ARE TWO CLASSIFICATIONS FOR FIREWORKS 1.4G AND 1.3G Almost everything we sell at Galactic is 1.4G as it is close to impossible to store 1.3G as they can only be kept in their place of use for a maximum of 3 days! You will find the odd item available from us that is available for pick-up on pre order 1.3G, however we are proud to say 98% of our fireworks are 1.4G meaning you the consumer need only follow the regulations below.

So as you can see its really hard to ever get over the 50kg limit never mind the 250kg one. The limits are actually very fair and quite liberal for the fireworks that you will buy. Also I should add please don’t store a mixture of 1.3G & 1.4G, as then the whole lot is classed as 1.3G and we don’t want that. I suggest if you do have any 1.3G keep that to 5kgs NEC at a different storage location.

The weights that you can store of fireworks as specified below do not mean the gross weight. It refers to the NEC weight (NEC standing for Net Explosive Content, sometimes also listed on the box as NEQ) For example, a firework may weigh 5kg however the NEC may only be 0.5kg. It is very rare that the gross weight and NEC is not displayed on the fireworks outer carton box, but if this is the case we usually work on an overestimate of 20% of the gross weight to be safe.

If your storage of fireworks will exceed the above limits either in terms of time or NEC then I suggest you contact the local Fire Officer or Trading Standards and register your fireworks storage with them, I am sure they will be able to advise you further. We, for instance, use an ISO shipping container at our own stores with a 250Kg NEC limit, which seems to be sufficient. Obviously the has just scratched the surface but if you require a more detailed explanation then please see online.

Here are the weight limits that you can store of fireworks at your home without any kind of license. 1.4G of course!

UP TO 5KG NEC STORE FOR AN UNLIMITED TIME

UP TO 50KG NEC STORE FOR UP TO THREE WEEKS BUT ARE NOT FOR SALE OR FOR USE AT WORK

UP TO 250KG NEC STORE FOR UP TO THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS AND IN THEIR PLACE OF INTENDED USE Remember, the weights refer to the NEC of the fireworks and not their gross weight. Our own Mayhem for example weighs 9kgs but only contains 0.76kgs of explosive so less than 10% of the overall weight. In fact you could buy 65 of these giant cakes and still be under the 50kg 3-week limit.

PLEASE NOTE: I must stress that fireworks laws and regulations can and do change. The above help and advice should only be considered, for the latest up to date advice please ask your local licensing authority.
