Balloon Races
This is a great fun way to fund raise. Tickets sell on average for £1.00 each.

What is a balloon race?

You sell 2 part race labels which both have serial numbers on. You sell the balloon to the purchaser, they fill in their name and address on 1 part which you keep. The other part of the race card is attached to the balloon. On this part of the card is the serial number, the closing date of the race and a place for the finder of the balloon to insert his name and address. The finder then returns it to the address stamped on the back. When the closing date arrives a prize is awarded to the owner of the balloon that has travelled the farthest and a smaller prize to the person who finds the balloon and returns the label.
If you would like pictures of the event put up on our web site in the Fund Raising Gallery, please contact Debbie on 01304 812 228.

Will I need permission to run a Balloon Race ?

Yes you will. You must obtain the relevant permission from your local authority as Balloon Races are considered to be lotteries. In addition to this you must also inform any military authorities and civic air traffic controls of the date and time of the intended release.

Does the release of the balloons harm the environment?

There is very little effect on the environment as both the latex balloon and the race card are biodegradable. You should never however release a foil balloon!
