CONGRATULATIONS to Devizes Round Table for holding their firework display on Sunday evening in spite of the heavy rain and near gale force winds.

I am assuming that it was not possible to postpone it for a week in the hope of better weather.

If it had been possible, think of all the extra revenue that would have been generated for local charities by more people turning out and paying on the gate.

We had paid in advance, and there was no way we were going to suffer the weather on such an evening, but we would have welcomed the chance at a later date.

I am quite happy for the Round Table to donate my ticket money to good causes, but I do think we are entitled to an explanation for this apparent missed opportunity.
