Gaspar, Leo and I attended a briefing at the Liverpool African Caribbean Centre to prepare for the fireworks night event that we will be helping out with tomorrow. The very capable Maleka, who is in charge of the event, talked us through what to expect on the night and the various volunteer roles as well as what to do in potential worst case scenarios - which can be quite bad when it's a fireworks event! - but also reassured us that in the six years that they have run the event there has never been an injury or an accident, so fingers crossed we'll extend that run to seven. We did a walk around the site in the pouring rain to make sure that we all understood where everything is and where we will be stationed on the night, with the rain doing little to dampen our enthusiasm.
