..............im finding it hard to be politically correct but that Tommy was awful, if i had him booked my daughters party and i just watched the programme, i would of canx him ASAP, i dont think he did himself any favours. I really liked the pirate thought that was quite good!!

Website "Chat" Help / Re: Helping with your website
April 07, 2008, 05:22:31 PM
Hi,

I am not an expert on websites but there are some things to consider, if you go down an option like MR SITE serach engines will not pick it up when doing generic seraches like Childrens entertainer in XXXX but if a customer knows your web address http://WWW.XXXXX.com  and types it in the address bar you will come up, wim is probably more expert in the technical reasons why but wesites need to written in a certain way to get you up in the ranking.

My wife who is a childrens entertainer has a mr site and it has been a great start but if you dont get found on google etc you are missing out and pay per click can be a expensive option.;

Dave can you elaborate how yoiu can get grants or funding and how that works?

Balloon Chit Chat / Re: balloon show ideas PLEASE
April 07, 2008, 07:20:21 AM
Hi,

on the few occassions i have done a "Balloon show" i have done needle through the balloon, are you familiar with this??

Its got great interaction and i always get a kid up to draw a teacher etc face on a balloon and then the 1st time it pops and the second time it works................you can then link this into the restoring of the balloon.

Also Norman Barnhart has a great DVD on balloon shows and on it he takes a red scarf and gets it to disappear in a thumbtip and then he has a red uniflated  balloon with another scarf inside and blows it up and pops it, looks great live!!

Balloon Chit Chat / Re: Conventions
April 02, 2008, 11:03:22 AM
Hi,

The idea for conventions is great, but what about trying to arrrange some jams to share some ideas,perhaps we can try and get some kind of local jam in our local areas???

I`m down in Bournemouth and i believe there are some twisters on this forum and others that may like the idea of an early pm jam???

What are all your thoughts??
