Play Area Balloon Race Winner

We have had two labels returned from the Play Area Balloon Race and now, after two months from the launch we are have ended the competition. To our surprise and delight we had a label returned from a Jutta Rohrlack in Harrislee , Germany which, for a while looked like being the winner. However, a few weeks later the second label was returned from Aku Kalpa in Nauvo , Finland who we have now declared as the one that has flown the furthest and we have sent them a reward for their efforts.

I can reveal that the balloon found in Germany was purchased by May Woolley who lives in Broad Road, but the one found in Finland was purchased by Beth Brown of Willow View, Broad Road. We will be sending Beth a prize shortly.

Thank you to all those who took part on the day and to Mike Smith for his help with blowing them up and the Launch and also to Dave Ball for providing the Helium.

The balloon travelled about 1100 miles!

Litter
By being members of the association you have already demonstrated your concern for the well-being of the village. One problem we have to grapple with is that of litter. Unfortunately it is an increasing one here and throughout the country. We can all do our part in trying to educate our young people (and some not so young) not to drop litter, however significant amounts seem to be thrown from passing cars. It would be great if each of us frequently clears any litter away from the area in front of our homes. There are a few other areas that it would be good to keep cleared and if you are prepared to look after a small area on a regular basis do please contact me.
