Post by: Graham Lee on November 13, 2019, 07:11:24 PM
Less than a week to go till the next STAR LECTURE balloon days with Pip Milford-Hughes
who is coming over all the way from New Zealand. So please come and support here for
a fun and fabulous day or two in Birmingham on the 19/20th Nov. Both days will be
different so please come to one or both days. The days are open to members and
non members. Everyone is most welcome, this is year 15 of running the
care & share balloon days in the UK where we are striving to
"Improve Our Balloon Art".
Any questions about the days then please ask or to book,

Some new bags attended the days and people were comparing.

Al wanted to be in the little video we recorded on the Wed,
I was tempted but went with the original script.

I will post the model I made for the recording later on the thread.

It was then onto competition for day two .
We usually pick a theme but for this one we picked a shape, we used
the ball that David Croft showed at the Sutton day a few months
back and that design had to be incorporated into the design.
