Thanks Shadow.

This was only the last 10 minutes of a 1 hour 30 minutes air night fireworks show, just after a 45 minutes air daylight show and before the 1 hour ground fireworks show on the same 1 day out of 6 days of fireworks! :)

So we have much more material to publish but will take some time to have things sorted as you might know.

Please note that all this work is of the Saint Andrew Fireworks Factory of the L'Unione of Luqa.

thank you.

Hello Luqa-Malta,
let me first apologize for not coming back at you in English right away
The comment in Dutch underneath your post is a kind of explanation of Maltese folklore that
includes a rivalry between the numerous Maltese fireworks clubs. Visiting the Qrendi festa I was amazed by the
very strong police presence and one of the villagers explained that it was because there was a fight
the year before between 2 firework club members/supportes. (Having seen soccer hooligans here in Holland I didn't think much of it.)

My Maltese holidays were absolute superb, amazing fireworks, nice weather, incredible historic
sites and very kind and hospitable people.

The "other club" invited me to their club house and I was welcomed very friendly by their president.
(see picture.)


It was only after coming back to Holland and reading your caption in the English section of this
forum that I became aware there is more than one club at Luqa.
.
I thank you for correcting my blaring misstakes with the names of factories and pyro-teams.
My excuse is that I had to rely on the info given to me bij local Maltese people.

I hope to return to Malta next year and perhaps we can have a meeting.

Most friendly greetings
Jim (sisser)

Hello Jim,

Nice to hear you enjoyed your stay and glad to know you liked the fireworks.

My query is not about rivalry, that is of little interest to me. I have friends who supposrt the other club and wish them only well.

My concern is about our factory not being mistaken with any other factory because as you might know our factory has its own pride and distinction merits and no one likes these to be taken away :) and it has it's legal rights on the name.

The only 'Saint Andrew Fireworks Factory' is the one belonging to our club.

The other factory is called 'Saint Andrew's Band Club Fireworks Factory' and is younger and smaller in operating terms.

Does anybody know how to embed vimeo videos on this fourm?

The embedding code supplied by vimeo does not seem to work here.

Thank you.
