I must have entered hundreds of balloon races over the years and have also conducted official launches in my broadcasting career too. (One memorable one in Essex saw the organisers and I desperately throwing hundreds of rain-sodden balloons into the air only to see them fall forlornly into the nearby estuary).
Usually my balloon disappears into the clouds never to be seen again. Does anyone ever win a prize with these things? I might now find out....
My husband spotted the remnants of a balloon, with ticket attached, in the gutter near our home in Felixstowe. What excitement- it was from Northern Ireland!
We have sent the label back and wait to see if we have won the prize for the furthest travelled balloon. Even if the school children don't use the race as a chance to learn more geography, the Sloane household has!
