Spent an enjoyable few hours at the above location for a NWBAC meeting tied in together with motor cycle display, a fair and if you wanted to get a bit of culture into your life you could tour the hall and gardens.
About 20 balloon baskets and envelope packed away in their containers were present. Several balloons were tethered during the afternoon and a flight was due to happen at 19.45 when about 15 balloons were going to make a flight. HOWEVER due to thunderstorms near Manchester which caused the planes to approach in a different direction the lift was cancelled albeit a number of envelopes and baskets were ready to go.
No access was allowed to the lift area so theerefore the balloons which were laid out were not identified, although one special shape balloon which was laid out and not identified but took up about a third of lift area.
Seen during the afternoon were the following:-
G-BUNG- Cameron- Jaguar Aspen
G-BTPV - Colt BBM&L
G-CEMW- Lindstrand- Top Banana
G-MUCK- Lindstrand
G-ODAY - Cameron- BBM&L
G-RAYO- Lindstrand
G-RIMB- Lindstrand- Parkinsons of Leyland
G-SUCK- Cameron- Soothers
G-VITL- Lindstrand- Vital
Only three cops never mind first balloons in the log for this year 969 cops for year and counting.
Happy Days
