November the fifth was one of those days referred to above when the rain hammered down all day here at Armitage Bridge. Undaunted, One 17 gamely ploughed on with our bonfire party in the field next to the office. Mark and Stuart battled the elements to give us what could easily be the biggest private bonfire in the whole of Kirklees and a firework display that defied the dowsnpour.
Caroline, David and a host of helpers manned the barbecues under the shade of two distinctly undersized gazebos and a good if slightly soggy time was had by all.
By 10.30 all signs of the festivities had been cleared away, except for the bonfire, which continued to smoulder for the next three days, being coaxed into life each day by the careful ministrations of Jimmy, without whom One 17 could not function.
