I am just coming back down to earth after one of the best experiences of my life. Wow, where do I start? I would like to thank all who made this trip a memorable one and I made some great new friends. Well done to all the organisers, lecturers, people back stage and front of house. I have gained so much knowledge and have already started to put new techniques learnt into practice. I can't wait until the next time. I hope to see you all again soon.

I am just getting back into normal routine after MJ10. What a great occasion and so many fantastic memories. I learnt loads and was truly gob smacked by all the talent and innovation. On top of all that, I met new friends and old all surrounded by lots of lovely balloons! Then to further "Ice the cake" For those that don't know Mike (Twistopher) and I then went on afterwards to visit my Aunt and 3 cousins and their children who live in Brussels. I got to meet baby Oscar, my newest "1st cousin removed" , or "nephew" as I call him, it sounds so much nicer!
On the minus side, Mike went down with flu on the Saturday and has been pretty poorly since. I hope nobody else caught it!
Thelma, I was not aware that you hurt yourself till I read it here. I hope that you are quite recovered now. (Was it the highly amusing but possibly dangerous balloon "Space hopping" that you inovated?!! I had aching thighs for a few days after but thankfully nothing worse!)

Many congratulations to all the competition and award winners and many thanks to Leo and his team for once more putting on an excellent event. I do hope that it was not the last.

I am still sorting photos but will post some ASAP, I don't want to post duplicates to any already here.

Here are a few people you may recognise!



The unforgettable game of "Musical Chairs"!

OH NO not the musical chairs.

That is one of the things that will live with me to the day I die.

my sides still hurt.

thanks for posting the pics.

Here are a few more random photos, have tried to pick things not already posted on here. Sorry they are not in the correct order!

Christine, thanks for posting the pictures, please don't worry in case you post any doubles as it will just refresh everyone's memory again.
One more thing, how do you post 12 pictures onto one post?

I actually got the tip from Dale on the MBD2 forum http://www.mbd2.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5036 on how to "paste" photos rather than upload them. You do have to have the photos already uploaded on the web though so could be on facebook, gallery or any web site. The best thing is you don't need to resize the photo either!
By trial and error I found that It works slighly different here in that you click on the img button and paste the URL code of the photo that you wish to link. (To find the code, right click on the photo and click "properties" Copy the code from "Address:URL" )
Hope this makes sense!
OOOH! I feel quite geeky!!
As you say, I managed to add 12 photos in post, I don't know if there would be a limit?

Feel free Graham if you want to move this post to a more suitable thread , if you think it will be useful to others.

Thanks for the info Christine, I think I'll copy it to the how to post pictures thread but leave your original post here as well.
So if the URL is copied from another location on the web, if you then take those pictures down or move them will the forum pictures disappear as well?

Not sure on that, I suppose that would be so. Best not to post anything that you intend to move or take down just incase. Anyone have a definitive answer to this?
