Thanks Kathy and Chris - the point is the 'everyone bring a firework' part.
The committee decided that it didn't want to go round asking everyone for
even more money so one person could go and buy fireworks (quite reasonable
in my view).
The idea was that people could 'impulse buy' a couple of fireworks whilst
doing their normal shopping and there was no pressure to contribute if you
didn't want to.

Long ago we used to organise community bonfire and fireworks parties and
found it was better and safer for one person to be responsible for the
selection, type and purchase of ALL the fireworks.
That way, from the start all the fire works are together in one place
under your control; you can sort them in advance (in daylight), arrange
how you are going to light/display each kind and not get surprised by
laddish Dads with SAS flash-bang fantasies.
