My version of the balloon fish hat, the first picture was the first one I tried but I think the second has potential;

My name is Graham Lee and many years ago I was an electrician, went self employed when I was 21 and have always worked for myself. I got into installing burglar alarms and then had someone come to entertain at my daughter Kelly's 5th birthday party, her name was Dawn and I would like to thank Dawn for changing my life as I went off to the library to get some books out on magic and then started to do some shows while also doing some electrical work and the entertaining got busier so eventually I went full time. Met David Grist when we both travelled together for The Millennium Jam, David also changed my life again without realising it. We then started the care & share days and balloon chat followed. After all these years I still have the same buzz, love and excitement for balloons and entertaining. Apart from my family I also have three very special friends in my life who without there support many things that I have achieved would not have been possible, Mike Ingham, Pearse Halpenny and Thelma Levett.

I would like a day in the Bishops Stortford area to go ahead, so was thinking it could be a non BAG day with a fee of £10 for everyone and bring your own balloons. I'm happy to do an hour lecture, we will need 15 people minimum to cover hall costs etc and I was thinking about the 19th Oct so we can advertise the day for a few more weeks.

I'm working away this weekend in Southend so spent last night and this morning looking at the master copy to check everything on the DVD is OK'ish.
So far so good, looked at two hours with over two hours still to view, hoping to get the DVD's sent out to everyone by the end of the month.

I go out for a night at the magic club and come back to? Well not sure really what to make of things, it seems to have kicked of for no apparent reason that I can see. I have sent PM's and will wait for a reply or two, my thoughts are that Parapsycho may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick due to a language barrier problem as the early posts all seemed OK to me.

A variation, looks a little futuristic? well possibly.

Just found out that there is another balloon jam taking place, website details at the moment are not in English; http://balloonjam.be/topic/index-nl.html

Have just updated the details of the news page with details about the three day balloon jam in Holland that Dennis and Ingrid from Ha Ha Entertainment are helping to organise. You may need to refresh your screen to see the details. Although the event is at the end of Oct you only have 10 days to book and confirm places so please be quick.

This was a definate fun day with plenty for everyone, thanks to Twistina again for coming along.
Thanks to all who helped keep the hall tidy during the event and at the end. Difficult to name some as I will probably forget one or two but those that went beyond especially were,
Rachel, Jason, Russell, Amanda, Ozzy, Dave and Dan so thanks to those and anyone else that I forgot to mention as you did make the day easier for Lyn and I.
Now if only we could get everyone helping  

There is always someone trying to take the balloons away with them  

From the last session of the day;

The meerkat was a huge hit at the day;

A parody from cars and another very funny moment with Twistina, the things she does to get a laugh!
