A good friend is flying over from Japan and is spending a few days in the UK and I've said I would arrange a jam/fun balloon day in her honour, we meet up at The Millennium Jam, Twist & Shout and Diane even flew out to China for the balloon festival last year. There is a picture of us both having a foot massage.
We are looking into the day being probably on Friday 30th July but this may change when she confirms all her flight details as she in in and out of Europe while here as well,  as she is flying in and out of London the day will be in Banstead.
It will be free to attend but donations towards the cost of the hall and balloons would be appreciated.
Just finding some info about Diane;

I can probably make this ,as soon as I know the confirmed date I'll book the time off

I have a booking on that day, but if it changes, perhaps to the Thursday, I'd love to come.

Diane is flying in on the Thursday afternoon and the day will be definately going ahead on the Friday and it will be "FREE" to attend but I would appreciate people booking so that we have numbers etc. Will add it to the website now.

Here are the booking links;

As it's only a few weeks away please pass on details to others that may like to attend.

Hopefully will make that one, can't add it to 'cart' as need to order minimum of £10 to 'checkout'

I'm away at the moment but will change that so you can just book the day when I get back on Friday.

Fingers crossed I've now changed the settings on both websites so that you can book the day with no minimum payment required.

I wish I could make it but I have only 1 day off from the 26th July to 4th September

Leo who organises the millennium jam convention, http://www.millenniumjam.com is trying to get over for this day so we may end up having a Q&A session on how he organises and runs the best balloon convention in the world  

I'll be there - all booked up

Not fun - both already have work in on that day...

The hall is now all booked up;
The Banstead United Reformed Church
Woodmansterne Lane
Banstead
Surrey
SM7 3EX

It's on the corner with Fiddicroft Avenue

We have 22 people booked in for this Friday coming in Banstead so there are a few more spaces available, as it's a free day we do get more no shows so if you are booked in and are unable to make it then please let me know, thanks.
I'm hoping to have a mystery lecturer for the day as well so it could well be busy, busy, busy.

Sorry I won't be able to go due to family commitments.  Say hello to Diane for me, she is great fum and a lovely lady. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Millenniumjam a few years back.
