Firework Display
One of the County's biggest firework displays and a
night taxy run with Avro Lancaster NX611 at

Feel the atmosphere of a WW2 airfield at night.
This year’s fireworks will see the culmination of
many years’ experience here at the Centre giving us
the best display we have ever had. Not only will
you be able to see the fireworks you will also be
able to feel their power as they explode and cascade
in the skies over this very historic location.
This is possibly our best value event as you can join
us for 11 hours experiencing the Lancaster taxy runs
at day and night, enjoy a hog roast, play with glow
sticks, watch a WW2 German Searchlight and most
importantly build memories for years to come with
the biggest firework display at the Centre.

SERVICES
Halo Smart Protect is a unique treatment system developed and supplied by All Year Biker.
We all know winter road salt is a killer for bikes, but here are a few things you might not be aware of:
During the rest of the year environmental fall-out, sea spray and even animal waste can cause
corrosion.
In certain conditions animal waste on the roads can be up to 3 times more corrosive than road salt.
Washing alone will not prevent corrosion, in fact trapped cleaning water can often start the process.
Corrosion rarely ‘starts’ where you can see it but once established it can spread alarmingly fast.
There is now a Lincolnshire based Operative so you can have your bike treated without having to travel
miles. Trevor Bridgwood (Riders Branch Member) is based just outside Lincoln and covers LN, DN and
some NG postcodes. If you are interested in getting your bike protected, then give me a call. For more
information, visit the All Year Biker Facebook page at www.facebook.com/allyearbiker
