This is a fairly easy'ish aeroplane from two red and a clear.

I'm off to Dublin on Sunday for a week with Colin Myles, Colin has been commisioned to make a few large sculptures over the week in a school with some of the children helping and learning the basics for balloon modelling and he has kindly invited me to join him and help. Really looking forward to it and I'm all booked on ryanair which was a challenge in itself as I think they now even charge you to use the loo and walk on the plane. Not sure about internet connection when there but hoping the hotel has free wifi so that I can upload a few pictures as we go.

I have 20 dates booked for Adventure Island in Southend with most being two days in a row so I will be staying over and was wondering if anyone is that way if they would like to meet up for a drink/meal/chat as I finish at six every night. I am there tomorrow and Wed and will be free tomorrow night, will post the other dates with a bit more warning, perhaps a few can get together for a twisting session?

After playing with the cat designs which are on this thread; cat-t3981.html We ended up with this, not sure what it is? Any suggestions?

Thelma and I were playing around with the cat design yesterday, it was not a good idea to use a dark background for the pictures.

I have just noticed a mistake as the advertising for the Manchester day has been Wed 7th June which is not a date in 2011, we have to decide if the date will be Wed 8th or Tuesday 7th?

Can I gently ask people not to take pictures from other websites and post the pictures onto the balloonchat forum, a link through to where they are already posted will work.
Like wise can I also ask that you do not take other peoples pictures from this forum and post them onto other websites, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had a tidy up of my work area and found some old balloons tucked down here, there and everywhere. I wonder how long ago I made them?
Can you guess what they were?

Twist and shout the balloon convention that takes place in America has had a date change due to a booking problem with the hotel. Website details; http://www.balloonconvention.com/
The new dates that are now confirmed are for Feb 1st/5th at the Sheraton Phoenix Airport Hotel. Hotel details; http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/ ... ertyID=954

We are holding two basic care & share days at Capel Manor College in Enfield on Tuesday 12th and Wed 13th July, this has been organised via the college with Lucy from Balloon power and is to help students on the balloon coures. Link to college; http://www.capel.ac.uk/
The days at the moment are for Capel Manor students only with a maximum of 30 people per day, if spaces are available we will be opening this up to anyone from July.

The rabbit's are now six weeks old and for sale, pictures are here on page 2; latest-addition-act-t2961.html

This looked like a good idea; http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=1 ... 67&theater

The forum crashed last night somtime with the main server in America going down, it looks like all posts from yeaterday were lost so luckily it was not a busy day on the forum, perhaps 10/15 posts. I remember Thelma posting a peacock that is now gone but I'm sure it will be re-posted. If anyone did post anything yesterday could you please post it again, many thanks.

All my sites have been down, magic and balloons. Fingers crossed this was just a small problem.

Jason posted details about latex soup and I think Kevin posted something in the middle of the night as well?
If anyone else remembers what may have gone missing then please let me know.

I just had to get David's email from his website and found his ballooniverse balloon animation, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfzgQms-DIw

The forum is three years old tomorrow on the 15th March and I still have read every post, I must try to get a life soon  
Although I'm still very much enjoying everything about the forum. There seems to be something new and exciting happening all the time to look forward to,
at the moment it's the new twister club that starts on the 1st April.
