Thanks Darren, Patrick will be pleased  

Back at the hotel for 10 mins before we all meet up at 7pm for a meal in town. Patrick gave an excellent memorial lecture with some Dutch jokes thrown in to make the day even more memorable. Thanks to everyone who came along to the event and made it a lovely time and atmoshere, I'm sure everyone must have taken something from the day wih plenty of concepts and models being shown and we still have day two to go.

Just returned home from the most amazing and intensive two-day lecture ever! Patrick is an inspiration, his designs impressive and it was a real privilege to spend quality time with a master artist. I am exhausted and but still tempted to start work on the Gorilla.

Same time next year??

Thanks for Graham and Lyn for all their hard for work, and especially to Patrick and his lovely wife for spending time with us all. The usual gang were fun as always and it was lovely to see some new faces.

For those who haven't joined TBAG, my advice would be to sign up - at least you will be able to watch Patrick's first day of teaching on DVD.

Brilliant!

I too have just got home after the same brilliant two days and am inspired and exhausted at the same time!

Huge thanks to Graham, Lyn, Patrick & Willemijn. Plus thank you to Roger for driving me there and back!

I learn't loads, some usable stuff immediately and some more complex models that I will need to practice.

Always good to meet friendly faces, both new and familiar!

 

Thank you for an amazing couple of days.  Thats to Patrick, Willemine, Graham and Lyn and everyone who was there and made the event what it was.  xxx

Home again, too soon . The two days spent with the crowd and the fabulous Patrick have been the best ballooning days I've had. Every single model shown by Patrick is a winner in my book. As Nippy said if you are not a TBAG member then join now. Honestly the DVD you'll receive from this day alone would be worth the subscription.

Many thanks to Graham and Lyn, Patrick and his lovely wife without whom this wouldn't have been possible. I honestly can't stress just how much fun these days are to go to.

I can't sleep with all of Patrick's ideas swimming in my head so I had to make this... very pleased with the result using a photo and my scribbled notes...

If you need a reason to join TBAG this could well be it!!

Good morning everyone.

Hope you all had good journeys home in that awful weather

Just wanted to pop on and say what a fabulous time I had yesterday.  Thank you to everyone who made me feel so welcome!!! You are an amazing group of people and so warm and accommodating.  Thanks also to all of you who helped me as we went along to keep up the support in the room was fantastic.  I learnt loads yesterday but what was fabulous was to meet other people who love balloons too.

If anyone else has never been to one before and are nervous about going because they are worried they wont keep up or don't know anyone I would recommend you bite the bullet and go for it - I have only been twisting for a short time and I am so glad I did and I will be joining the club.

Darren - Your parrot is wonderful and I am so glad you posted the picture as I didn't take photos yesterday and now so wish I did    - Am going to try and make my own version later today.

Take care everyone and look forward to seeing you all at the next one!!

I am really sad I missed this, but you have all convinced me to join the club! Life is still a bit in turmoil at the moment and I was going to wait until we are back on an even keel and more organized time wise. However, I really would like the DVDs of Patrick's days so I figured I needed to join NOW!  :lol:

Quote from: "Twistina"I really would like the DVDs of Patrick's days so I figured I needed to join NOW!  :lol:

Just so that everyone know's, only one day is filmed for the club DVD. Normally the star lecturer only does one day, for a treat and a change I booked Patrick for two.

And you certainly know how to treat us...  :lol:

I have started the thread for anyone who wishes to post pictures from the day, post43721.html#p43721
It is only viewable for members of the forum, it's free to join so if any lurkers are looking then please sign up and see the pictures from this great two day event.

Thanks to all who attended and made for yet another fun filled laughter packed two days, memories are made of this    :lol:

I would just like to confirm everything that has been said already. Many thanks to Graham, Lynne, Patrick and supporting teams for a fabulous and exhausting 2 days. Brilliant!!! And i feel very privileged to be part of very talented, kind, caring and sharing, enthusiastic group of people.

Oh, and Don't forget about the great short cut too! Don't follow me:-)

Wow what a brilliant 2 days.

I have already sold several of the designs learnt over the two days, so well on my way to getting my money back.

Thanks everyone for a wonderful couple of days.

Roger.

I want to echo the thank you's, it was a great two days. I dropped my balloons off at the local children's ward and they went down really well, especially the parrot. Lovely to spend time with you all as well
