Hi all, there is a charity event on 14th July at Birmingham Botanical Gardens for disabled and underpriviliged kids. I took part last year as part of a team of 14 facepainters who all donated their time for free, painted like crazy ( 3000 kids! ) and had an amazing time, we all went for a meal after and the day was really memorable. I'm thinking of twisting this year as the organiser has managed to persuade plenty of painters to come and there wasn't nearly enough twisters last year. Snazaroo sponsered the painting by giving every painter a set of paints so we're working on perhaps getting some balloon sponsership too. I do know that there is some travel expenses available. If you are interested drop me a line on squeak.the.clown@ntlworld and I can put you in touch with the organisers.
All the best Jo

hi all i will be going down from yorkshire so any one wanting to grab a lift and reduce petrol costs please give me a shout. It will be so much fun!

I've been in touch with Mandy and she said she'd put us on the mailing list for that!!
Haven't heard anything yet, but we have it penned into the diary here and are looking forward to it IMMENSELY.
Has anyone stepped forward with any offers of balloons for use on the day yet?

I had an offer of some 260q balloons from Qualatex for that day - but they have not arrived yet, so wil be chasing them Monday to see if the offer is still open.
