Been home a few hours now and unloaded the car, I don't think I've ever taken so many pictures at one day, over 160. Just going to start to re-size them to put them on the forum. Did no one else take any?

A few of the pictures, the firat one is the stain on the wall in our super £19 travelodge room  

1, Stain on hotel wall

3, the basic class

1, Dave with a likeness of myself?

3, Peppa Pig

1, Dave Andrews during his mini lecture which had plenty of very good solid usable bit's of business which would have the kid's rolling around with laughter. Picked up a few pointers myself. Dave, many thanks for taking the time to do the lecture for everyone.
2, Dave with his 5 year old helper?
3, A few of the motley crew

1, Debbie who was a good sport to come along and join in with her conwin apron.
2, Made during Bubblz lecture which un-fortunately I never saw as we all had to keep moving our cars about due to the 3 hour limit in the car park    But thanks Caroline appreciated, I understand the lecture was to do with down-sizing your models for the cute arrh factor and making things behind your back to look way more impressive. I never actually got a picture while you were performing, sorry.
3, This groovy chick was nicknamed Lois

1, Jimmy Carlo during his mini lecture with two great balloon magic effects which are available on his new DVD. These alone are worth the price of the DVD. http://www.sempertexballoons.co.uk/inde ... 7&parent=9
From the picture it looks like Saint Jimmy  
2, Jimmy's attentive audience
3, An eager volunteer trying out another effect, the balancing balloon trick

1, Thelma during her mini lecture. Thelma was explaining how one design leads into another for her and how they seem to get more complicated and then she strips the models down to the basic's again. She was also explaining that if you never just play with balloons and let mistakes happen as this is how you sometimes look at designs from other angles to see what else it could look like or partially look like with a few tweaks along the way. This was an insight into a very creative balloon modellers mind, thanks Thelma.

3, My attempt at Thelma's shield.
