Balloon Race Winner
After a successful release of over 600 balloons on a wet and windy afternoon we have now reached the closing date for the return of balloon race tickets.
It is with great pleasure that we now announce James Stirling in S5 as our winner. His Balloon was found over 120 miles away in Bowsden, Berwick Upon-Tweed.
We would like to express our gratitude to Mrs Norma Wilson who returned the ticket from the winning balloon.
Great credit is also deserved by the group of S6 girls (Iona, Connie and Eleanor) whose hard work made this year’s Balloon Race the most successful ever. Well done girls!
Congratulations and well done once again to James who will now be flying “Up, Up and Away” with 2 return tickets to one of the fantastic destinations courtesy of British Airways.
