Mean spectators hit bonfire collection
As reported in the Observer last week, a crowd of 25000 visitors turned out to witness yet another spectacular event created by the Bonfire Boyes and supporting societies. The sum collected works out as an average contribution of a measly 16p per head!
Just think if each adult had stumped up a £1 – a bargain for such exciting entertainment - then well over £20k would have been donated to the Boyes’ charity.
