I think it was a corker of a day, so funny as it was just what the doctor ordered. Many thanks to Tony, Darren and Thelma for all doing a 45 minute spot. Tony was so funny with his good gags and some well corny non PC gags as well, people surprise you sometimes. Also thanks to everyone who did a short 5 min show and tell, Colin, Colin, Danny, Dan, Steve and Natalie. I think that was everyone but apologies if I have forgotten anyone. Will try and put some pictures up tomorrow and it was lovely of those who brought along cakes, biscuits etc, especially Darren as I think he must have bought the whole shop supply of donuts for the day.

Just wanted to say I also thoroughly enjoyed today.  I loved seeing people get up to show the single models and ideas.  What a great idea.  Some lovely ideas coming out.  Had such a good laugh too.  Thanks everyone.  Thanks Lyn and Graham for organising another brill day and also thanks to Lyn for putting up with us all.  I took as photo and then my battery went flat so can't contribute any photos of today.  Sorry.

A few creations from today...

Plus Thelma shared her princess bracelet, Steve his caterpillar of unknown origins, Natalie's dolphin bracelet, Danny's boat and gentleman  who's name escapes me sorry (was it Dan?) who showed a great bow and arrow plus a laser gun.

I know I have missed someone out!

another great day all have a good laugh .... looking forward to the Leeds days ,,, thanks for the birthday song in pub

Just to say a big thank you to everyone for such a great time yesterday hadn't  laugh  that much in ages, nice to meet such a friendly bunch.

I love that little motorcycle Nippy/Graham. I jumped up and made one as soon as I saw it.

I had Patrick's 10 minute motorcycle, Bonnie's 3 balloon motorcycle, and a one balloon 'motorcycle'.

But this one is so fast, clean, and unmistakable. Great model.

A few pictures from the day, some variations on the bike.

Tony Hanscombe, aka Tony Chestnut, aka you had to be there!
Tony started off the day very well with some corny old jokes and some good tips when working the real world, his display, end of line banner and the blush balloon is Tony's version of a rainbow. He was very funny so thanks Tony for coming along and doing a spot for everyone.

Some more pictures from Tony's workshop;

Some variations of Tony's Angel that did have a name, something about Mary but I forgot the full title he gave it.

Some lady bugs and Erin's bag of balloons all ready to take home.

More fun from the day;

Colin and his helicopter, well Colin's hand and helicopter to be exact and Darren starting the second workshop which was a montage to David Grist.
Off out to the magic club now so will post some more pictures tomorrow.

I think it was Mary the fairy whose not very hairy!
Absolutely classic
