Thanks to the NYE Fireworks committee

SPEAKING of committees, Thumbs Up to Peter Judd and his volunteer committee who established and have run Dubbo’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks night these past few years. It was such a shame that Mother Nature blew away Monday night’s event with one gigantic dust storm.

The hearts of just about everyone in town sank when organisers had to announce the event’s cancellation.

It was plain for anyone to see that it was a tough decision that had to be made for the safety of all.

I feel for the organisers, though. It must have been incredibly disappointing to have put months of work into the big night, only to have it shut down by something completely out of their control.

Despite all that, a huge Thumbs Up to the organisers. Don’t be discouraged. We’d all love to have our fireworks night back next year.
