The David Grist memorial lecture will be taking place in Birmingham on Wed 20th July with Dennis Hogers running the full day hands on lecture workshop.
Dennis is Guido Verhoef's staright man in his double act and they have 3 DVD's out with Bee Bodies, Hearts and Blossoms. http://www.ballonvouwen.nl/shop/index.p ... anguage=en
He is very talented with a wealth of balloon knowledge to share.

Dennis is also the technical guy at The Millennium Jam. I will put up the booking details shortly, the day will cost £35 to attend and free to twister club members.

Sounds great Graham. Can you give an idea as to what Dennis is going to be teaching?

It was only confirmed last night and I have no idea at the moment, Dennis has a wealth of talent but I will see if he has an idea how the day will be planned but rest assured it will be another cracker of a day, it may even turn into a party!

Hi Graham

As soon as you have decided on the venue let us know as I would like to book a hotel for the night. If i get in there early I may get a travelodge £19 special!

Fingers crossed - I'll be there

Dennis has a website with some of his work on there to view, the site is in Dutch though but you can still see and appreciate the balloon models.

I'm planning on going I’ve never been to any lectures before and really looking forward to it. Just must wait to clear diary as I busy couple of months. It will also be great to meet balloonie people (I thought I was the only one)

just checking is this a one day event or two? what is the start finish time?

This is the first super day so will be a two day event from 10 till 5 both days and then a meal in the evening, perhaps we could have a jamming session on the Wed night after the memorial lecture and meal?
Or does anyone have any other suggestions to what we could do Wed night. At the moment I have no one booked in for either day

I'm coming. Hopefully for both days.
