I'm coming! Anyone going past Bishop's Stortford station in a car that want's to pick up a hitcher - me.... would be appreciated. If not see you there everyone.

xxxxxxxx

thought i bite the bullet and come out of hiding just booked, please be gentle with me :oops:

Hi Kevin

It will be good to see you there. We are a friendly bunch.

See you soon

Darren

I had hoped to come but have just agreed to do a 2 day wedding fair that weekend so will not have time as too much prep work to do!

I too have booked and am looking forward to it.

Is there an address for the day? Or is it at Graham's house!  

It was a bit awkward booking a hall and in our price range, budget, but have now just found one. The day will be at;
Bishops Stortford Football Club
Woodside Park
Woodside Industrial Estate
Dunmow Road
CM23   5RG

The day will run from 10 till 5

Can anyone offer a lift from London to Bishops Stortford?  I'd be happy to contribute for petrol.

Or even a lift from the rail station to the venue to save a taxi fare?

thanks
Danny

I believe we are up to 15 people attending the day at the moment. We have Tony Hanscombe and Darrren (nippy99) both doing a spot for us plus my basic session first thing which again will be a what would you like to see know session as I thought that went reasonably well when we tried it for the first time at the Twistina day. And then there will be two extra spots, one by Thelma which she does not know about, fingers crossed she makes the day as she has just got back form a break in America and then I thought I'd show one of the hats that I have just put onto the DVD. So a pretty full day, a word of warning that everyone that turns up will also have to show and tell with a short spot. Well it may just be a show your favourite quick and easy model for the real world and why it's your favourite etc. Looking forward to a fun day and after we will be going out for a meal, all are welcome.

Don't get too excited about my 'spot' - please leave all your tomato and cabbages at home.

You will be fine Darren, the same as everyone else. There is no need to worry as you are amongst friends, we all have one common goal apart from taking the mickey out of each other and that is we all want to help improve our balloon modelling and the way the public look at our art form.
No matter how long I have been twisting I still get excited about the days and going out entertaining, I still get that excitement/buzz and may it long continue.

Hear hear - it will be great. Is it true we need to bring balloons? xx

Yes it is, we get sponsored from Qualatex for seven days throughout the year and we have done 13/14 days this year already.

Wow, just a quick post to say today was fantastic. It was wonderful to spend the day with a group of lovely and sharing people both beginners and seasoned pros. I think everyone got something out of today.

Thanks to everyone who presented today and the stand-up routine from our first lecturer was outstanding. Bernard Manning would be turning in his grave.

I am sure a few photos will appear here soon.

Thanks to Graham and Lynn for their usual efforts and well done to everyone for tidying up afterwards  :lol:

Just got back from a great day. Thank you to Graham and Lyn, and all the contributors of the day.

As per usual, I learnt loads and had much fun throughout the day.

 

What a fantastic day, many thanks to Graham, Lyn and all who 'did a spot'. I don't remember laughing so much. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
