The travelling back was very un eventful thankfully and we got home just after midnight.
Hope everyone had a good time and the performance day with Danny later on in the year will definately be going ahead as the thoughts and feedback from the day have been very positive. The two sessions got you thinking about what you we're doing with the balloons, yourself and the audience rather than just going into auto pilot as I'm sure the majority of us do.
So thanks to Danny for spending hours putting it all together
The help in keeping the venue tidy and loading the car is always appreciated as well.
Comments on the day are most welcome or if you prefer just send me or Danny a PM.

A few pictures from the day;

Some more pictures; Everyone is sitting down listening to Maurice who kindly volunteered to do a 10 minute performance spot which was probably worth the price of admission on it's own.
Some little gems that we're noted by everyone to use at a later date, so thanks Maurice for sharing your thoughts & idea's with everyone.
Sometimes you just don't know what's going to happen at the days

The hat competition was judged by Danny & Carol who is Neil (fairby) better half and Carol was also the lone judge with the one balloon competition. So thanks for taking on this very stressful task which I'm sure is always open to bribery and corruption.
Thanks to all who took part and we're up for the challenge

Thanks Graham for inviting me to lead some bits of the day.

And thanks to everyone you came and participated. If you have any feedback, please post or PM me - I can take it!

cheers
Danny

Some neat hats  & I like Martins very much.
