Delighted to be asked to provide a Balloon Race Release to mark the official opening at New Square, West Bromwich in the Black Country. The race consisted of 500 latex helium filled printed balloons complete with race tag in one of our nets, all prepared and delivered in a fabulous Volkswagen Crafter donated by Birmingham Van Centre and it was an absolute dream to work with, drive and was plenty big enough which makes the whole job a breeze!
We arrived with plenty of time to talk through how things would go with event organisers and Cyril as he wanted to be involved with the release. The temperature around midday hit a sizzling 30 degrees and the crowds were out and ready to be involved. With the Mayor and local Councillor making a brief speech, media interviews were done then the countdown began...both stood on the new podium, Cyril was passed the rope from the top of the net as I held the secured neck of the net and began to cut the net as the crowd got nearer to 1. Enjoy the photo's and the lovely recording of the release.
