VERY interested! My Fiancee and I are looking to travel next year so why not!

I know it's a hard question to answer but do you have any idea in regards to travel/hotel costs mate?

Many thanks,

Sam&Tina.

I'm surprised this topic hasn't generated more interest.

If my family circumstances were different I would have taken up this offer like a shot.

Maltese fireworks have to be seen to be believed.

Ditto... probably the same for many of us, I'm afraid. We like to think of ourselves as 'free-agents' but... the truth is often somewhat different.

A fair point Tyvole.

On reflection, I suppose that anyone who would like to go, but can't for some reason or other, would do exactly what I did until yesterday - not respond.

I have just booked my flight I will be staying just outside of Valletta, as Richard said the fireworks have to be seen to be believed, a 7ft tall 30 kilo multi break is a sight to behold! Not only that it will be around 70 degrees better than this wet sodden frozen country.

Don’t worry I will have some HD footage of it plus I will pick up a DVD of last year’s event yes I was there! No copyright on the official DVD as long as I promote the event, so it’s not all bad. :D

Following our norm rule that would be over 3Kg!! I know the Maltese use a pressure method to be more economical with lift though, using the base of the salvo as a piston as it compresses.

Firstly hi!
Secondly count me and the mrs in. Do you think it's worth booking a place with a view over grand harbour?

Welcome Arran, answer to your question would be a yes and no the venue is a little different this year but the harbour would be a good place to be, I will send you a PM to try and clarify the subject, hope you attend as I will be there.

Ok, can't pm at the moment so any chance you could elaborate on where the finale is going to be PG? It would be great to have our own baloney over looking!

Any members that are attending or non-members please contact myself through the shop or PM, the head count is six so far it would be good to meet up for a beer or two.
Marsaxlokk, I would think there will be some daylight displays so best get there around 4pm
