My alex's, mum's boyfriend, Paul, Has a 12ft square Bouncy Castle. I had an inspirational thought in the car, and believe me these don't come often!! It won't cost a penny, and I thought it would be a bit of fun for the kids during the day, and then when they go to be bed, squirt some washing up liquid on it and Sal and me will clean it french style, and anyone else who wishes to join in can as well!!! Their a few of issues though first which I need to Clarify:-

firstly, we have to seek permission from the proprietor of the establishment, Mr Jamieson
secondly, if we do go ahead their is no liability cover for accidents so it has to be used at your own risk
Thirdly, I can't get it in the Delorean because it's to big, it needs to chauffered in an estate car to get it up there.
Fourthly, it needs mains power to run the blower

Just an idea for abit of fun, I would welcome any comments or ideas concerning the matter, if people agree or disagree with the idea????

I have my own 18ft bouncy castle. 12ft is not that big? Potential health and safety nightmare?! It is a plain square one? WHere are the measurements taken from?

My issues/questions would be:

- Where are you putting it?
- When?
- How are you getting it here? It's not big but won't go in a D - and the D is more important! ;)
- If it's windy it won't work
- If it's raining it won't work
- Who is going to be in charge of it? (my schedule is full)
- Does it have a huge sticker on the side of it (sewn on) saying "NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE"?, and "ONLY 1 PERSON AT A TIME"?

I thought if the weather is like what we are having at the moment we could maybe use one, it would be fun for all of us. Pauls is 12ft square, but if you've got an 18 footer, that would be better. I would have no idea where it would go, that would be up to you, if there is room?? Being a closed even't would it have to be manned??? We would make sure that if the kids want to use it that they ask permission before doing so, so one of us could supervise.
As for stickers/warning signs I have no idea. If obviously you don't think it's a good idea then we'll 'can' it, it was just an on the spur inspiration that I had, if obviously there are to many implications invovled then we'll shelve the idea.

Don't get me wrong - I would love to see Lisa on a bouncy castle! :mrgreen:

But how are you getting it here? My one is too small - it is 18ft by 10ft, and in the shape of a train. Fits about 2 people maximum really.

We should have another Bounce-tec though. Someone even mentioned on the way back the other day that we should have an Alton Towers-tec! Anyone up for that? :D
