Fireworks planned for next year

 

The Rotary Club of Umina plans to hold another New Year's Eve fireworks display at Umina Oval next year, following the success of this year's event estimated to have attracted 12,000 spectators.

Rotary Club president Mr Colin Keane said: "This was the third fireworks night and the club plans to hold the event again next New Years Eve."

Officially opened by Gosford mayor Cr Robert Bell, entertainment included dancing displays by Lovetts School of Dancing and band recitals by No Exit and Go To Bed Jessica

A fireworks spectacular lasting 23 minutes was performed by Howard and Sons.

There was also face painting, mini jeeps and lots of stalls.

"Being alcohol-free, it was a great environment for families with children and Paviers Amusements added a carnival atmosphere with their dodgem cars, show bags and rides."

Mr Keane thanked major sponsors: Alan and Sandra East, Eagles Kitchen and Bathroom Centres, Gosford Council, Woy Woy Leagues Club, Umina Beach Bowling Club, Everglades Country Club, McDonalds Woy Woy and many local small businesses.
