Firstly, thank you to all those who came and those who gave their time to support the Firework Spectacular. Every element of the event worked brilliantly and we have received some amazing feedback about how well run the evening was. Your time and skills really are appreciated and the event could not have happened without the support of all those there on the days leading up to the Spectacular, on the evening itself and then the clear up afterwards. There are always small tweaks we can make, but this year set the template for years to come. A huge £17500 raised for Woodcutts and a further £1500 for other good causes in Sixpenny Handley. 
 
Next year will mark 25 years of the Firework Spectacular and we must be in a position to capitalise on the anniversary and make the very most of it. We have already designed the start of the main display and have something extra special up our sleeve. Get the date in the diary now - Saturday 31st October. 
 
We had just about recovered from fireworks and then it was Remembrance Sunday! The young people were fantastic, smartly turned out and made us all proud. With 105 on parade, it was one of our largest ever turn-outs and we filled the High Street. The little bit of rain did not dampen the spirits and all the young people showed their hardiness and resolve. 
 
The last couple of weeks have proved, once again, that we have an amazing and special group of young people and volunteers at Woodcutts. Thank you for your continued support and here'slooking forward to our Christmas Celebration and more adventures in 2026! 
 
All the best
