Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

A time for us to remember those who served their country in wartime.
St Andrew's and its memorial archway fronting on to Queen St are dedicated as peace memorials.
The church will be open all day after the morning services for people to come and light candles in remembrance of the great sacrifice made by so many in the hope that people could live in freedom and peace.
A power point presentation, telling us about the men whose names are listed in the memorial book in the church, will be played throughout the afternoon.
