Introducing Newick Bonfire Society’s new commemorative 2020 badges 🔴⚫️.
With this years membership being carried over until October 2021 due to the cancellation of all of our fundraising and bonfire events we have decided to release two commemorative badges to mark the extraordinary year that wasn’t!
Each badge will cost a minimum donation of £2 which will help raise money towards Newick Bonfire 2021 and they are on sale in shops and pubs around the village.
Badges can be sent by post with additional postage costs. Please message us via our Facebook page for details.
Thankyou for your support, we will be back!! 🔥

We often get asked about the different types of membership of the society. Day membership includes entry to our Fancy Dress Competition and entitles you to walk in the Processions on Newick Bonfire Night, provided you are wearing a costume made from non-flammable materials. This also includes all necessary insurance so is great value for your evening’s entertainment. To become a Day Member you need to purchase a Supporters Badge available from local shops and pubs on or before Newick Bonfire Night. The cost of these badges has remained the same for many years but has just increased to £2.50.

We keep the cost of Day Membership low because we like to see as many people as possible in our Fancy Dress Competition and Processions but would like to remind you that for a minimum donation of £12.50 per person (£25 per family) per year you can become a Vice President with all the benefits of Day Membership plus occasional newsletters and a complimentary Programme featuring your name as a printed acknowledgement. VPs are highly valued financial supporters and are not expected to help in any other way.

Of course if you would like to help with preparations and fund raising and/or visit other societies’ bonfire nights we would love to welcome you as a Full Member. There are many different jobs so come along and join the team. We especially want to attract some more younger members as some of us are not finding the physical tasks as easy as we did! Adults pay £13 per year and under 18 years £6 (must be accompanied by an adult member at all times).

Lately our fund raising events have been less well supported so we are relying even more on membership revenue. The Village Green gives our night a unique atmosphere but is a public space and we are unable to charge admission fees so we would like to encourage all residents of Newick and everyone that visits and enjoys the amazing spectacle that is Newick Bonfire Night to pay for their evening by becoming Vice Presidents or Full Members. For details see the Join Us page!

All the money collected on Newick Bonfire Night goes to good causes, not the Society. The Society fund raises to provide your evening's entertainment. This is becoming increasingly difficult. If you would like to contribute to the cost of the event, fireworks, insurance etc. please consider becoming a Vice President for a minimum subscription of £12.50 (single) or £25 (family). You will also receive a FREE Programme with a printed acknowledgement, a badge and our newsletter. Vice presidents contribute financially but are not expected to help in any other way.
