GUY FAWKES: MUCH QUIETER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS
No ‘big bang’ this year RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj This year’s Guy Fawkes Day went by much more peacefully than usual. The somewhat unusual quietness was ascribed to two things – the bad weather and the day of the week. Guy Fawkes, which is celebrated on 5 November annually, fell on a Monday this year. “The event was so quiet this year. I do not have the numbers, but it was significantly
less than previous years. “I am speculating but it may have something to do with the fact that the last three years Guy Fawkes fell on a weekend and this year it was a Monday,” Nicky Rheeder, ward councillor, told TygerBurger last week. She said thankfully this year there were no real serious incidents reported to the authorities. “One child who got a big fright being close to a loud firework was checked out by medics, but barring a small mark on her ear she was just fine.”

Laura Outhet, spokesperson for the Table View Neighbourhood Watch who helped with patrols, told TygerBurger that they are happy to report that there were “no incidents of value”. “There was a small crowd. Most left when the weather turned bad,” Outhet said. Last year the festivities were also dampened by strong gusts (“Gusts hamper Guy Fawkes”, 8/11/17). The event had to be cut short at around 20:15 due to the strong southeasterly wind with about 1000 people on the
beachfront. Gary le Roux, chairperson of the Parklands Neighbourhood Watch (PNW) who patrolled the Parklands area during this year’s celebrations, said no incidents were reported in their neck of the woods either. “PNW patrolled our area of Parklands and Sunningdale while the fireworks were happening on the beachfront. In our area, everything was quiet and no complaints were logged with PNW. V To page 3.
