Bonfire Night Statue and Round Up

A giant 25ft effigy is being created for Bonfire Night in a bid to raise money for charity.The wooden Guy Fawkes is being made by Dan Barton and his friends from Southmoor in the hope that they will be able to auction off the statue and raise money for the Poppy's Appeal charity, which hopes to raise £250000 to build a new building for Southmoor pre-school.For those looking for organised Bonfire Night events, South Park's annual Round Table charity fireworks display will take place on Saturday, November 3rd, with gates opening from 5pm, with the fireworks display at 6.30pm, followed by a bonfire (tickets £5).If you're willing to travel further afield, the largest fireworks display in the county will take place in Abingdon, with £6000 worth invested in the show.
