While walking along the South Bank with Danny, Lyn, Roger and Tonya on Friday night a good suggestion was brought up by Danny & Roger about the DVD could take the format of friends of balloon chat and we got a few people to put a model each onto the DVD similar to the friends of David Grist DVD that is out. I liked the idea, any volunteers? I will try to film a few people at the memorial lecture in July if there are any takers. Anyone can film and send the contents over so we can edit it into the master copy.

That's an interesting idea. Which ever way it was done I would be happy to pay for one to support this site.  Lets face it, if we come on here regularly to get ideas and to indulge in participating with other balloon mad people we would miss it if it were no longer here.  I have checked out a number of balloon forums in the past and this is my favourite for a number of reasons.  For one thing it is policed but not over policed.  Common sence prevails. I could go into the other reasons but I dont want to slag other forums off.  But I did get very disillusioned with one in particular.    

I just think if we benefit from this forum we should support it in some way.  So yes I'm up for a payment and getting a dvd in return.  

I love the BAG dvds by the way.  Great to know I won't miss any of the great balloon twisters even if I can't be there.

Dear All,

A DVD is a wonderful idea especially if other members get a chance to contribute a design. My only concern is the lack of interest/support/commitment from other members. Of the 700 or so members, less than 10 people have responded and shown interest in purchasing a DVD to support the forums!

Graham, how about taking pre-orders then at least you will know whether the project is worth the effort?

Come on guys, if you are one of those silent members who continually take the free ideas and advice offered on these forums, at least respond and say whether this DVD is of interest to you or not.

It's OK Darren I get used to the silence      :lol:
Some just like to look and view and I fancy making another DVD, it keeps me occupied and if I put the helicopter on it the DVD will be worth it just for that alone as when I make it in the real world it always gets a round of applause.

Hi

Balloon Chat site is a huge help and would be willing to donate for sure.
The fact I would get a DVD is a bonus.

I'm in a great idea Graham!

Im always interested in learning things i dont know, or of learning a new way of to do things i do......a dvd would be great..... i also like the pay area of the site for premium memebers idea......

 Either way I think its a good idea and would support it.

I must have missed this one the first time around. :oops: I think that this is a great idea and would be happy to help in any way I can. This forum is fantastic and if it wasn't for the seeming tireless work put in by all I wouldn't have got to where I am today. The Dvd's are a great way of revisiting the lecture day's as it's sometimes very hard to remember all that you have covered. If there is enough takers could this be an extra incentive for those still thinking about joining up?
