Greetings from Ongaonga, Central Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

[Pyro Kiwi]

G’Day from down under.

My name is Simon Osborne, I am a Certified Handler of explosives (Class 1, Category G substances to Level 3) and head Pyrotechnician of Eastcoast Fireworks that exploded into life in 1999. As the only dedicated professional display company in Central and Southern Hawke's Bay, we provide firework and pyrotechnic displays for community events, wedding receptions, and celebrations of life (scattering cremated ashes - Kiwis go out with a bang) displays. I am also the Fire Captain of the Ruahine Rural Fire Brigade. Cheers Simon

Simon nice to have fireworks people from around the world be part of the discussion forums. There are a few members from New Zealand floating around the forums from time to time. Speaking of New Zealand , you brought back a memory for me from 2013. When the Pyrotechnic Guild International had the annual convention in my home State of Pennsylvania I met Tim from New Zealand. It was during an auction , I later sent him a Pyrotalk Hoodie. I believe he still has an account. I would also be curious if he is still in the business. He came to United States to see what the PGI convention was all about.

Here is the video from 2013.
