It's that time of year again, sorting things ready for the drive to Blackpool.
If anyone does need any balloon related products then please send us a message and we can bring with us.
Usually we do not take any rounds, quick links or Q-paks.
So please take a look at the website and we are happy to bring along for you.

So what will we be making on the stand this year?
Please come on by and take a look, always nice to see people and share ideas'.

Last year we made the super sized Sausage Dog with David Crofts.

We got back about tea time yesterday and trying to get up to date with emails, orders and putting stock away.

Many thanks to Rob Driscoll for the help this year on the stand, appreciated XXxx.

Here are the start of the pictures we took, first time there in me new car and all the seats come out so that gave
us a little more room as this car is a little smaller then me Fiat Doblo we have been using for many a year.

The stand was quickly set up late Wed night after the drive up to Blackpool,
we got there later than normal as we did hit a few congested sections on the motorway.

The last picture was for starting the Zero or could be used for an O in the alphabet.
We did think about making the number four just 4 squares across but thought the centre triangle might be a little small if we did that.
But next time I make a four we might actually try that.

Rob and I with the finished design, this took at a guess half the time that we usually spend.
Which was nice as we had time to talk and chat and feel more relaxed about the event.

Craig who was working on the Albion magic stand next to us was after a variation on a sword design.
So Rob and I had a play about with a few ideas, not sure I took pic's of all the variations we made.
