The night before I will be lecturing at the local magic club, waiting to get the venue details.
If anyone would like to attend, I'll pass on the details although there will be a charge to the magic club for this.

Have finally got a venue sorted, it was a bit of a struggle;

United Trades Club
Balmoral House
Balmoral Road
Kingsthorpe Hollow
Northampton
NN2 6LA

It will be my 1st Care & Share day this Wednesday, I'm really looking forward to it.

Graham will there be a chance to learn season sculptures at all :?:  Halloween & Christmas stuff.

I can't say that I do much halloween designs but I'm sure others will help us out.
Christmas is no problem, can share a few designs that I make during my shows so they are quick & easy

Graham Lee

Fantastic...thanks Graham

Steve, all the designs I am going to show at the day will be Halloween and Christmas balloons.

Brill I've got two halloween shows next week - see you all there

Just about to load the car up & then make our merry way up to Northampton for the lecture tonight & the care & share day tomorrow, we still have spaces if you fancy coming along.
£15 if pre-booked online or £25 tomorrow, both options include a £15 voucher to spend on balloons at the day.
Don't forget the cream cakes

FANTASTIC!! Thanks Thelma. Ooo I can't wait.

Sorry no cream cakes from me you will have to put up with the apple and apple blackberry pie's I have mad today. I have used apples from the Garden and blackberries from the filed behind my house.

We have just unloaded the car & I have to say that I thought today was definately one of the better care & share days, although there all good this one I only had to do the basic class as Thelma was kind enough to run two workshops today, leaving me with socialising & helping out. The first lecture was on halloween which was excellent, what a great pumpkin & witch & then the second one on christmas with a fantastic snowman, angel & really lovely santa. Unfortunately Thelma couldn't make up any notes on the models as her computer broke down so I'm hoping that everyone that uses any of the models shown today will buy Thelma's CD on Halloween & Christams when it comes out as she really deserves our support with such a fantastic fertial mind that keeps producing some amazing designs. Thelma in my opinion is one of the best kept secrets in the balloon world, it wont be long until she's travelling the world sharing her great designs with everyone. So thanks Thelma for taking the time to share your designs with everyone today, I'm sure they all enjoyed both your lectures
Thanks also go to those for the cakes, keeping the place tidy & helping to unload & load up the car again.

Ian (Smiggles) went beyond the call of duty with all his help in keeping the room clean, so thank you

A few of the motly crew who turned up for the day listening intently to Thelma's lecture;
