Balloon and party industry organisation BAPIA has just opened the registration for its hugely popular Great Ormond Street Hospital 2018 event, which is now in its sixth year.
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) celebrates Christmas with children from the hospital each year, holding four parties over two days, and BAPIA is delighted to be able to support this world-famous charity every year by creating the decor for these hugely important Christmas parties.
This year will be a little more challenging, as the decor has to be built in one room and cannot be installed in the party room until 6pm.
“I know that our members will rise to the challenge and will have a great time in doing so,” said John Bowler, chief executive of BAPIA. “This is a day where we get to create and be creative, while networking with other like-minded people for a fantastic cause. We then get to relax in the bar afterwards and chat to friends old and new!”
In total, between 1,500 and 2,000 people attend the GOSH parties, which are only possible with the support of numerous companies from around the UK and BAPIA is very happy to count itself and its members as supporters of this fantastic event.
“Every year I look forward to this and I am always amazed at the response we receive from our members, although I should know by now that this is a very popular event,” added John. “This year we had 30 registrations within a few hours and we know that we will see many more before registration closes on 30 September. It is our opportunity to give something to some very special and deserving youngsters and I cannot tell you what a difference the decor makes to the party atmosphere.”
As numbers are restricted, and because it is such a popular day, GOSH 2018 is only open to full BAPIA members. For more details go to www.bapiaonline.com/training
