Balloon Race 2005
Of our charitable efforts in 2005 included a balloon race that 
proved very popular.  Over 200 hundred balloons were launched 
at our 60s meet, 

The winning balloon  traveled to a remote location near 
Eassington, East Yorkshire a total of 169.23 miles.  

The actual spot where it landed is marked red.  

Congratulations to Dave South who bought the winning ticket.  
Also thanks to Dave for donating a proportion of his winnings 
to our worthy causes - thanks mate..

Once more the West Mids DA have been raising money for our latest 
very worthy cause.  At our annual dinner dance in January 2005 we 
presented a cheque for £2,400  to the Sandwell 
Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit (I know the cheques says 
£2,250 but we  raise money rapidly at times). 

Well done to all the members who have donated their time 
and money to this cause.
