Shrewsbury firework display CANCELLED
November 5th, 2009
The management at Shropshire’s West Mid Showground have revealed they have been 'forced' to cancel the 2009 bonfire and firework spectacular at the last minute. The event was due to take place this weekend marking the close of the bi-centenary year of the birth of Shropshire-born naturalist Charles Darwin. But the society has experienced financial problems amid the recession and the effect of the economic crisis and demands from suppliers means the November 7 event cannot go ahead.
