BEQUIA NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATIONS 2014
We wish to thank all individuals who took those personal decisions to facilitate our superb
fireworks celebration at the end of a stressful 2014, bringing a much needed public cheerfulness
and renewed confidence in Bequia. Through their generosity, we are delighted to confirm that
our target of EC$15,000 was secured.
We would like also to give especial thanks to pyro-technician Fred Wade of FX Fireworks,
who worked with our Bang Gang this year to take the show to a new level of professionalism.
We look forward to everyone’s continued support, and to welcoming new supporters on board.
The total costs for this were approximately EC$15,000, and this will again be our target for 2015.
Contributions for New Year’s Eve 2015 are welcome at any time, in fact - the earlier the better!
Cheques, made payable to “Bequia NYE Celebrations”, can be sent to our Committee Secretary
at Box 128 BQ, Bequia, or left at the Frangipani for my personal attention.
With all best wishes for a peaceful and prosperous 2015,
