[BNM] [OT] Burning lanterns

[Gillian Pearce]

Definately worth doing.

I second the "dress warmly".

It's worth building a lantern to be in the parade itself then you can get a
great view of the fireworks and bonfire at the end. Not to mention the brief
moment of  "fame" as you parade through the streets with all those people
watching!

Good community night out!
