Buy early, and treat 9.30pm as the finish and 10.30pm as the margin.
Barnes Sports Club's annual Bonfire Night is on Saturday 7 November at the club on Lonsdale Road, Barnes, with fireworks from 7.45pm to 8.10pm. Tickets are sold online only.
Tickets
An adult ticket is £18 plus a 45p fee. A child aged 4 to 12 is £6 plus 15p. A family ticket for two adults and two children is £36 plus 90p. Donations of £5, £10 or £20 can be added. Online sales close at 10.05am on the day.
The club calls the night "a vitally important fundraiser for Barnes Sports Club", so a ticket is also a contribution to the club.
The running order
The club's announcement gives this programme:
- Gates open 5.30pm to 7.30pm
- Live music, 6.00pm to 7.45pm, in the yellow marquee
- Best Guy judging, 6.45pm to 7.00pm
- Bonfire, 7.00pm to 8.00pm
- Fireworks, 7.45pm to 8.10pm
- Clubhouse bar, 8.00pm to 9.30pm
The Best Guy winner lights the bonfire, according to the event page, which gives the competition a stake.
What is on offer
The event page promises a traditional bonfire, hot mulled wine, a big bar and a barbecue. It also lists a DJ, and sparklers and glow sticks to buy. The announcement adds a mobile bar and flashing toys on the ground. Games on the club's multi-use games area start at 5.45pm. The event page lists entrances on both Lonsdale Road and Lowther Road.
One thing to check
The club's two pages disagree on the finish. The announcement says the event concludes at 9.30pm. The event page says 6.30pm to 10.30pm, with doors open 5.30pm to 7.45pm. The programme above follows the announcement.
With tickets online only, the sensible plan is to buy early, treat 9.30pm as the finish and allow for 10.30pm when you arrange the babysitter.
