GOSH
Children’s
Christmas
Party 2014
For the 2nd year running
BAPIA is supporting
Great Ormond Street Hospital
with decor for the Children’s Christmas Parties.
Many of you will not need any introduction to this event as you
were all so keen to be a part of this in 2013 and it was a huge
success. Due to unprecedented demand last year and to allow
all of our members the same chance to be a part of this fantastic
class we are going to change the booking process this year. We
will open up the registration page on August 1st 2014, when you
will be able to register your interest to book onto this event. On
30th September 2014 we will draw names from the list of those
who registered and they will be given the first opportunity to
book a place on the class.
The Class: On Monday 15th December 2014 BAPIA
(with the fantastic support of Amscan, Qualatex and BOC) is
sponsoring the décor for the Great Ormond Street Children’s
Hospital Christmas Party and we are offering 25 BAPIA
members the opportunity to take part in this class with 2 of the
industry’s leading instructors and designers, Christopher Horne
of Amscan International and Sue Bowler CBA sponsored by
Qualatex.
Both Christopher and Sue are acknowledged not only
as two of the best instructors that the balloon industry has seen
but also as fantastic designers who have created designs that are
replicated daily around the world.
Delegates will have access to photographs of the
completed décor for use in their own portfolio and will also
receive a personal letter of thanks from Great Ormond St.
This is no ordinary party décor; due to allergy concerns
for some of the youngsters, we are restricted to using only nonlatex balloons and the décor will have to survive 4 separate
parties over the following 2 days. As some children cannot
leave the hospital they will not be able to attend the parties, so
we have to make the décor moveable so the staff and volunteers
can “take the party to the children” afterwards.
This party is supported not only by some of the
country’s top companies but is always attended by an array of
celebrities (who take 2nd place to Santa) and we want to make
sure that this party is the best decorated in town!
We will be charging £35 for the day. This will also
include a Pizza lunch and refreshments. Any funds left-over
will then be donated to GOSH along with a single donation from
BAPIA.
This is a 100% charitable event with all goods and services
for the décor supplied free of charge.
This class is NOT suitable for beginners, all delegates must have
attended a basic/fundamental balloon course as a minimum.
