hey I just happened to have had similar ideas brewing or sparked off in a direction after seeing the pics and having jobs I could try them on... Love it when I get paid to practise!!!

From where I am at the moment I think Its one each Yvonne, if no one else posts pics, so no need for bets.. if others post pics then names in hat and see who comes out..

Love the little character, not done any twisting where I can practise that side lately..

Pam

A press release review for the convention,

Around 450 delegates, distributors, instructors and staff attended the recent Qualatex Event in Oxfordshire, what a beautiful old house the Heythrop Hall is, a very large, remote country house for what was a wonderful few days of balloon immersion with classes, competitions, parties and loads of networking. 29 nationalities were represented and it was great to see the interaction between everyone including the twisters and decorators.

First off was the sculpture competition, with 8 teams entering the large sculpture and 5 in the medium, the broad subject being “The Future”; winner of the large sculpture was the team from Russia, led by Tatiana Ismaylova and runners up were Luiz da Silva CBA and his Brasilian team. Winner of the medium sculpture was Pascal Grooten from Belgium, with runners-up being Team Radar from Romania. Please look at all the pictures posted on this thread to see some of the wonderful work that was dispalyed at teh Qualatex event.

Distributors for Pioneer Europe Ltd from across the continent were in attendance for their annual meeting, with presentations on new products and sales strategies. The award for Distributor of the Year went to Irish Party Supplies for a year of excellent results, so congratulations to all who came away with an award for all their hard work in 2011.

There followed 3 days of lessons in balloon decorating, business discussions and partying; top instructors from UK, Europe, Mexico and the USA enjoyed passing on their skills and knowledge and, from the feedback received, were able to enthuse some of the delegates to such an extent that they could hardly wait to put new ideas into practice.

Michelle Comerford, Pioneer’s Sales manager, was delighted with the success of the event. “I’m really pleased that so many of our valued customers attended,” she said, “and I’m especially happy that so many participants took and passed their CBA exams. With 29 new CBAs (Certified Balloon Artists), the future of the balloon industry looks increasingly bright.”

Pioneer Europe leads the field in balloon training and arranges many training events in individual countries, but this was the biggest Qualatex Event to be held in Europe for some years; next year, the World Balloon Convention, an Event that attracted 700 plus participants in 2010, will be taking place in Dallas, Texas.

Only a few days to get your entries in to win the goodie bag that the delegates received at the event, end of the month.
I will have a look to see if there are any other freebies to add in as well.
