Apology Regarding Fireworks at the National Girls’ and Women’s Event
We would like to offer our deepest apologies regarding the letting off of fireworks at the recent National Girls’ and Women’s event held at Great Blakenham Cycle Speedway Club.
Although the decision to let off the fireworks was not made by the club committee, we recognise that, as the host club, we must take full responsibility for what occurred.
We sincerely apologise, unreservedly, to the local residents and users of Great Blakenham Recreation Ground for any distress, anxiety, disruption or stress that this may have caused.
We fully appreciate that fireworks can be unsettling and disruptive, particularly when people living nearby have not been given prior notice. This was not our intention, and we are genuinely sorry for any upset caused.
We will learn from this incident and ensure that greater consideration is given to the local community and surrounding residents when planning future events.
Once again, please accept our sincere and deepest apologies.
Terry Ashford
Chairman, Great Blakenham Cycle Speedway Club
