| Hot Air Ballooning Events and Meets |
This is where you can get information on where to see balloons in our region, or even join in.
Social flying will resume when daylight, weather and concerns over Covid-19 permit.
Check also the Year Planner link for the complete calendar (all subject to confirmation, of course).
The late date for entries is a week or two prior to the meet, (see the Entry Form, when available, for details). This is so we can sort out the gas ordering and any housekeeping with the sites but if you have left it too late, don't worry, a late entry may be possible at an increased fee level and we will try and fit you in.
See also www.balloonevents.org for a worldwide listing.
