Plenty of parking, on the street and there is a big car park right opposite.

I have never had so many non BAG members book to attend a care & share day, you might want to get to the venue early to get a good seat.

Just back from an exhausting two days at the magic convention and then the Bristol care & share day with Gabrielle Hodge,
WOW what a day, we have never had so many turn up for a day, not since about 6/7 years ago when the days were free and we had 55 at Tamworth,
this is when I used to run the days on my own. Will tell all tomorrow with a few pictures, a little tired at the moment.

Thanks to Gabrielle who run two excellent workshops  :D

Hi Graham,

Just wanted to say thanks for a great care and share day. What a welcoming, relaxed and fun event it was. I most enjoyed the fact that you everyone was was happy to share how something was made, show you what techniques to use, so different from Magic convention day's.

Glad to be part of  and happy band of eccentrics! ( can I say eccentrics?) (yes I think that's safe, Russell was there after all!!!!)

Looking forward to the next

Just a quickie for the moment, someone spoke to me yesterday about Buster Balloon and did not know he was in the UK next week.
Well there are a few tickets available for this now so get in touch and I will give you the details.

Many thanks to ALL that turned up yesterday, one of the busiest days ever. And because of that there were a few issues that needed sorting.
I will bring a PA system for the lecture/workshops as this will help greatly, but with 48 people talking/laughing and having fun it will get a little loud.
As they say life is a learning curve, if anyone would like to comment on how else we can sort the days out better we are always happy to listen to suggestions.
I did think about having the basic class between 9.30 and 10.30 and have the main day for everyone else to start at 10.30,
that way it would be a little quieter for those that need a little extra tuition.

On to the thank you, Jay, Nicki, Matt for helping carry stock in, a few others did arrive and help as well so thanks to all.
Those that went above and beyond to keep the hall tidy, always Amanda  :) Thanks
Crofty was good with a broom and also to Nick who helped and it was his first ever care & share day, thanks for the nice comments in the above post, appreciated.
Quite a few helped carry all the stock down so thanks, so many nibbles to eat and Louise brought along an amazing box of super duper chocolates, they were LOVELY.
Andrew gave me a BAG logo for my car and Janine had the bag logo made up on hear zipped sweatshirt, she does do a lot of printing onto clothing so if anyone would like some made up then she is a member on balloon chat as well. Maybe wait till we 100% agree on the new logo though.

In case I have forgotten, THANKS to everyone who helped make the day what it is and they are.
For her very first lecture I think Gabrielle did very well and I would be happy to book her for a full day next time with microphone  ;)

The raffle raised £114 and I will put that towards the Samsung airline 77 headset which we will have for the two day events in Birmingham.
I will start to post pictures from the event this afternoon, fingers crossed that of the 18/20 non members who attended the day one or two will join BAG, that was the plan.
