Big Bang to Trigger Fireworks Over Oxford
 The Big Bang has teamed up with Oxford Round Table to sponsor their annual fireworks extravaganza to celebrate Guy Fawkes night and the very beginning of winter on 4th November and expects the display to be the biggest of its kind yet seen in Oxford.
Round Table is a charitable organisation for men between the ages of 18 and 45, they regularly meet with a view to raise money for local causes and endeavour to have fun whilst doing so. Their main event, as the biggest charitable event in Oxford'’s calendar is the Fireworks Display in South Parks, attracting in excess of 12,000 firework fans and raising in excess of £25,000 for local charities.
The display has been held for each of the last 38 years, it consists of a 30 minute display of choreographed fireworks costing over £10,000, followed by the burning of a 10 metre high bonfire, built frantically during the same day. The event is run entirely free of cost by Oxford Round Table members and connected local volunteers and sponsored this year by Max Mason and The Big Bang.
The fireworks will be held on Saturday 4th November commencing at an earlier than normal 6:15pm by popular demand, to allow the whole family to attend. Food and drinks will be available to purchase from The Big Bang throughout South Parks.
Tickets cost £12 for a family ticket and £5 for a single ticket if purchased before the event and can also be purchased on the evening at the gates, costing £15 for a family ticket and £6 for a single ticket.

Press Release
August 2006 - Innocent Flirting
On Sunday 6th August thousands of people flocked to Regents Park, London to enjoy live music, food and wine tasting and of course the opportunity to flirt.
Doing what he does best some might say, Oxfords' Max Mason; owner of The Big Bang restaurant in Jericho, was invited to compare the flirting area (speed-dating) at Fruitstock 2006; the free festival hosted by Innocent drinks company.
“Innocent recently supported The Fishes Festival in Oxford which was how they heard about me. I was completely taken aback though when they asked me to organise and compare the flirting area. It sounded like great fun; just like the Big Bang, and so I jumped at the opportunity.” Max explained.
Basking in the glorious sunlight Max kept the atmosphere buzzing with his wit and charm. To those of you who are not familiar with today’s speed dating, the rules of the game were simple; sign up, sit down and flirt with a member of the opposite sex for 2 minutes then move on to the next ‘date’.
“It was great fun and I’m now working hard to get Innocent to think about doing something here in Oxford.” Max enthused.
Now in their 5th year of supplying the nation with a fruit smoothies, fruit thickies and juicy waters; Innocent has become a popular household brand name in the UK.
