Sir.-We wish to express our appreciation for the magnificent support from the people of Basingstoke for the Mayor's Firework Fiesta on November 5 (pictured above).
Approximately 15,000 people turned up on the night.
I hope you all agree that it was a fantastic display.
A big thank you goes to our two sponsors, Gazette Newspapers and 2-TEN FM, for their continued support.
Thanks also to the ground crew and all the ICE gate keepers.
Our appreciation also goes to the Rotary Club of Basingstoke Deane, Sea Cadets, Lions of Basingstoke, Rotary Club Basingstoke and the Rotary Club Loddon Vale.
Last, and by no means least, we would also like to thank Margaret Payne, the mayor's administrator, for all her hard work.
We are now looking forward to Saturday, November 5, 2005, which will mark the 400th anniversary of the Guy Fawkes drama. It is our intention to make next year's event even more spectacular.
-Terry Thornhill, ICE, Old Basing, Basingstoke.
