THE MASS BALLOON RELEASE 2008

  
  To the sounds of the 1812 overture, over 1300 helium filled bio-degradable balloons took to the sky at 4pm on July 12th 2008 from our village of Cattistock in Dorset

Each balloon was 'sold' for a minimum of £1 and, after all expenses, the event raised over £2,000

The 'cut off' date has happened and the winner of the 'hot air balloon ride for two' has been notified. The results are given below.

We are repeating the event again in 2009. Please contact us for details
