yes the competition is to make a balloon sculpture on the theme of peace. sorry it has been a long day  

Oh Gosh yes, sorry everyone, 14th march is the date

As Balloon Chat, settles down to a more tranquil period (I hope) I would like to throw down a gauntlet and offer as a prize my set of three DVD's as my previous offer was refused, ( I know I know, a Scotsman giving something away free TWICE !!!! )
The challenge I would like to set is a theme of Peace.
I want this to be for everyone so please state how long you have been doing balloons for and how much experience you have, the latter can be less than the former !!!,
I will be away for a couple of days from tomorrow. I would like to close the competition next wednesday the 14th April, which I would like to name international balloon peace day.
I really do want this competition to be open to every one, so ideas will be weighted as heavily as technical expertise, and I will ask Graham if he can help find a winner

I will add my three DVD's to Graham's offering,

eureka  

this is a bubble heart that I have included in one of my new DVD'd, which will be availlable at the begining of march, but the real reason for posting is to see if even a ludite like myself can upload photos using Graham's super duper new software

I think Graham meant to say tuesday and wednesday, he is getting on a bit  
                                                        looking forward to seeing everyone
