Goodmorning all,
After a long journey back we arrived at home at 1.30 AM so after a good nights rest we our (almost) complete fresh and working again.

We had a wonderful time with you all, catch up with old friends and make new friends. Great to hear everybody liked the stuff I did in my lecture. It felt like a mini event with the 2 days of fun and balloons.
For those who could not make it, you really missed 2 very fun days. For everybody who is not a member of the Balloon Guild, don't wait, register today!
Initiatives like this is what we need, twister who united and increase the level of twisting and organise days like this.
And because every member gets a DVD of the day (also if you can't make it) it is a very cheap way of increasing your skills.

Thanks Graham and Lynn for organising the lecture, we had a Blast

I had an absolute great time, the 2 day format definitely a winner.

Picked up a lot of new stuff to road test this weekend.

Thanks to everyone there who made it such a great to time, with some very interesting moments that only the 2 days can bring.

It's amazing the difference making the second model can make, I was following along with Dennis while doing other things as well to make sure the day ran smoothly'ish.
The proportions are far better and everytime the model was made it looked better, well to me they did. So if at first you dont succeed, please dont give up but try again  :)
