'Fireworks & Explosives' - Guild's November talk


The Guild's next meeting will be on Wednesday 13 November at 7.30 pm in the Reading Room SP1 3LL, when Joe Cameron will deliver his talk "Fireworks and Explosives".


Joe Cameron of Firework Effects in Salisbury has been involved in the firework industry since 1984. It was due to his military background in Northern Ireland that he was asked during the 1980s by some County and Borough Councils in the Province, to fire various firework displays as community relations exercises. Joe was well placed to deal with the request as he had a background in lecturing on the impact that explosive material could have when in the wrong hands.


Joe moved to England in 1989 and formed his own firework and special effect company. His company has provided displays nationally and internationally and has competed in a number of firework competitions. The safety record of the company is exemplary. Joe continues to lecture on the dangers of explosive material as a member of the Explosive Industry Group.


In the talk Joe will cover the history of fireworks and how explosives can be used both as a means to provide families with an enjoyable spectacle or, in the wrong hands, to cause damage and injury.


Annual membership of the Guild is £15. Visitors welcome £5 per evening and includes tea/coffee/biscuits after the talk.
