I'm sure it will be a fun day, trying to work out what number care & share day this will be for me?

I'm guessing at over 100, but I do rather like them myself as well.

There are just three early bird spaces available for the Lincoln care and share balloon day that takes
place on Monday 12th Sept. I will be running at least two workshops and I have also booked a mystery lecturer,
so for the next three people to book the cost is just £20 and you receive 2 bags 260 classic modelling balloons.

I'm booked on this.

But a bit disorganised, Do I just turn up with my balloons and pump? I can't see the start times on my order?

Yes just turn up and bring your balloons, you do get some 260's for booking.
The day's normally go from 9 till 5 but tomorrow we have to be out the venue by 4.30.
So we will be starting promptly tomorrow and possibly only having 30 minutes for lunch.

Had a nice drive up with no hold ups, in our luxury Travelodge now.
Looking forward to tomorrow and another day of latex.

Just back home and un-loaded the car, was a nice day with a very good turn out.

Thanks to Craig, Daniel and I think it was Dave who helped with getting the shop in,
it was an upstairs venue  :o  

Thanks to David and Thelma for doing workshops for us, appreciated.
Thanks to all who brought along cream cakes and chocolate brownies,
I have never seen so many cakes at a care and share day.

And thanks to those that helped at the end to carry the shop out, especially David who was a great help.

Will post some pictures tomorrow.

The next care & share day is 4th Oct in Northampton, if you would like to book we do have a few extra
early birds at £20 and you get 4 bags 260 classic modelling balloons so making it a free day to attend.

Thelma made the princess in her workshop,
I must try to remember and add to my repertoire when twisting in the real world.
Title: Re: Lincoln Care & Share Day 12th Sept

Thelma also just showed Thomas but was not hands on.
Bill starting to make the princess, her blush head was very slowly going down.
One of those you had to be there moments.

As you can see Bill was very pleased with his effort of making the princess.

Bill realised the octopus was too many balloons but we massaged the rules a little,
it's just s friendly competition.

Some balloons laying around the venue and Craig's cart which I think is based on the Apollo cart.

Last few pictures, Thelma showed the ninja turtle in the last session.
Sorry I did not get too many pictures as we were packing the shop up
as we had to be out rather pronto and went right up to the wire.

Did anyone get a couple of pictures of Thelma and the last session that they could post?

I liked the Dory, I think Abi made it and the instructions are posted up on YouTube
if anyone would like to try and make it, might be the best Dory that I have seen........possibly.
