Balloons grounded at Christmas

As you might expect we will not be flying any hot air balloons on Christmas day but there are lots of new and exciting events planned for 2010. All the usual hot air balloon festivals will be attended by members of the Balloons over Britain organisation and we and all the pilots, ground crew and administration staff are getting prepared for the new season.

Traditionally there are some meetings at the coldest time of year and two of them are taking place shortly after Christmas. The first is the famous “Icicle” meet and is at Marlborough in  Wiltshire on the 9th and 10th of January 2010 the other is the traditional “Brass Monkey” meet organised by the Pennine Regional Balloon Association at Harrogate on the 6th and 7th February 2010. We look forward to seeing you there, or at one of the many others meeting in the coming year.
