Fantastic Balloon Race results
The annual balloon race held by Epsom Rotary was another success with over £400 raised for local charities. Thanks to Anne for organising!
The virtual balloon race takes place on a computer - no problems with spreading rubbish about the countryside!
It starts in Lapland and the computer works out what happens to your balloon using the weather actually occurring in Lapland.
Individuals can create their own balloons, latex thickness, amount of helium, colour shape and inscription.
Many families are racing among their own family members which adds to the fun in Christmas week.
The winners have been notified of their success.
