Bury Balloon Race Sunday 25th March
 |
On Sunday 25th March, 500 balloons were released for the Bury Balloon Release, with proceeds going to the Bury Ground Project. |
We had 16 labels returned, however 1 did not have any buyer or senders details, so was discounted. Of the remaining 15, all had been blown westwards, with returns coming from Swindon, Gloucester, Hereford and Wales. |
