Hi  HERES A QUICK UPDATE ON WHATS GOING OFF IN THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF GALACTIC FIREWORKS

OUR VISIT TO BRIGHT STAR FIREWORKS

ON THURSDAY THE 16TH FEB WE HEADED DOWN TO RIPPON IN HARROGATE TO VISIT OUR FRIENDS NIGEL, DARREN, JOHN AND THE REST OF THE TEAM AT BRIGHT STAR FIREWORKS. AFTER A STOP OFF FOR A DELICIOUS LUNCH AT THE 'GUY FAWKES ARMS' WE HEADED TO THERE HEAD OFFICE WHERE WE WERE EXTREMELY EXCITED TO VIEW NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2017.

WE TOOK A LOOK AT BOTH OLD CLASSICS LIKE BATTLE OF MIDWAY AND RAGING SPIDERS IN THERE NEW, MUCH MORE APPEALING LABLES HOWEVER ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE BRAND NEW FOR 2017 PRODUCTS SUCH AS THE MIGHTY 'BATTLE MASTER' & 'THE BIG BOSS' THAT WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE!

THERE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT NO DENYING THAT BRIGHT STARS PRODUCTS HAVE VASTLY IMPROVED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND THE QUALITY IN TERMS OF EFFECTS AND SHEER PERFORMANCE IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.  AFTER VIEWING VIDEOS AND GETTING OUR HANDS ON THE PHYSICAL DUMMIES OF THE PRODUCT  WE SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT TO OFFER THEM AND HAVE THEM ON SALE AS OF LATER THIS YEAR.

ALL IN ALL A FANTASTIC DAY AND WE CANT THANK BRIGHT STAR ENOUGH FOR THERE FANTASTIC HOSPITALITY AS USUAL AND WE HAVE NOW PLANNED TO VISIT THERE FACTORIES IN CHINA MID MARCH TO VIEW THE NEW PRODUCTS LIVE BEFORE THEY ARE MADE SO WE CAN TWEAK AND ADJUST THEM TO CREATE SOME UNBELIEVABLE PRODUCTS FOR 2017, EXCITING STUFF!

OUR TRIP TO BROEKHOFF FIREWORKS IN AMSTERDAM

ON WEDNESDAY 8TH FEBRUARY WE HEADED TO ROBIN HOOD AIRPORT WHERE WE FLEW OVER TO AMSTERDAM TO MEET GERARD AND HIS COUSIN PETER TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF BRINGING IN SOME POSSIBLE NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2017.

THE COMPANY BROEKHOFF ARE A ESTABLISHED FIREWORK SUPPLIER IN THE NETHERLANDS HOWEVER ALSO ARE SUPPLIER TO A NUMBER OF COMPANIES IN THE U.K. AND THEY EVEN OWN THE BRAND 'MAGNUM PYROTECHNICS' TO WHICH HAD SOME STUNNING PYRO! THIS WAS OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE TO BRING BACK SOME OF THE AMAZING FIREWORKS THAT WE LOVED, SUCH AS 'SAPPHIRE CROWNS' & 'DRAGONS TAIL' 

WE ALSO LOOKED AT NUMEROUS NEW FIREWORKS THAT ARE EXTREMELY PROMISING, ALONG WITH SINGLE IGNITIONS WE DISCUSSED CAKE PACKS AND EVEN ICE FOUNTAINS, AFTER A LONG DISCUSSION WE PUT A PRELIMINARY ORDER TOGETHER AND THEN HEADED OUT INTO CENTRAL AMSTERDAM FOR AN EVENING MEAL, WE TURNED UP AT A LOVELY HOWEVER VERY DIFFERENT VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT THAT WAS REALLY TASTY, THEY DONT CALL US GREEDY GALACTIC FOR NO REASON AND I THINK GERARD AND PETER WERE A LITTLE SHOCKED WITH HOW MUCH WE ATE

AFTER WE HAD FILLED OUR STOMACHS WE WERE ALL EXHAUSTED FROM THE LONG DAY AND HEADED BACK TO THE HOTEL, WE SAID GOODBYE TO GERARD AND PETER AND CALLED IT A NIGHT,  I THINK WE WERE ALL DREAMING OF THE FANTASTIC PYRO WE HAD SEEN THAT NIGHT AND WE CANT THANK EVERYONE AT BROEKHOFF ENOUGH FOR LOOKING AFTER US.

WHEELY GOOD NIGEY B HOLDING A KRAZY KLOCK NEARLY AS CRAZY AS HIM!

BULLSEYE! NIGEY B GRASPING EVERY OPPERTUNITY FOR A PICTURE
