Hear, hear AliG!  It was a great night, and I think the one I've enjoyed the best so far!  We messed around with different techniques and designs for crowns, giraffes and princesses (amonst others), twisted delivery pieces and discussed all the usual 'difficulties' facing us like pushy parents, controlling kids, pre-making pieces and whether we're there to serve or show off at events  :? Plus we had a steady supply of appreciative punters (princesses!) who were heading to the pubs and clubs wearing our handywork!!  

The next night is tentatively arranged for Mon 28th May - usual Orchard venue (see previous posts for details) but will confirm in the next week or two.

It would be great to see you there but if you don't fancy it - that's up to you...

Sorry I missed it Neil, something came up and I was unable to attend. Will try for the next one.

Hi folks

The next Scottish Balloon Jam is provisionally set for Monday 28th May at the Orchard (see previous posts for address) from 7.30.

Good idea to have a theme - so this month let's go for..... sea life.  So get thinking about fish, star fish, mermaids, lobsters, dolphins, sharks etc etc and let's see what we can come up with.

Will confirm date for certain over the next few days, but pencil it in your diary.

As always, everyone (over 18 - as it's a bar) is invited, and of course it's free!

Cheers

Thanks Neil,

Good news!

There's another Edinburgh Balloon Jam on the horizon – confirmed for Monday 28th May from 7.30 at The Orchard Bar, 1-2 Howard Place, Edinburgh EH3 5JZ.

To keep things ticking over, and as mentioned earlier - we're going to have a theme this month and that is.... sea life.  

If you want, please feel free to bring along a model of a sea life thing (you know what I mean?!?  :? ) and on the night we can have a play with fish, sharks, starfish, mermaids, dolphins, etc.  The world is our lobster – ooh, yes lobsters too!  Don't worry if you can't bring a model along – it's not a problem at all – just bring yourself, some balloons and have fun.

So, hopefully see you there and remember as always this is free and open to anyone of any ability over 18 (as it's a side room of a bar we are in).

See you on 28th!

Cheers

Just a wee reminder about the jam tomorrow evening...

Hopefully see you there!

Are the Scottish Balloon Jams still happening?

This seems to have died out. Not sure if Neil is still organizing them but with his premission, if he's not got the time, I'd liken to give it a go. As long as there is still some interest in people going to them?
