Blairgowrie RDA is taking part in a fabulous virtual fundraising balloon race – and we’d love you to become part of our team!

The Coronation Balloon Race is a seven-day computer simulation race starting from Westminster Abbey on 2 June where everything is real except the balloon! There are some fabulous prizes up for grabs, including £500 cash for the balloon that travels the fastest and an Apple iPad.

Live weather data is used to determine the progress of each entry and, once it’s launched, you can track your balloon on Google Maps. It’s a fun and easy way to raise funds for Blairgowrie RDA that kids and adults alike will love!

You can even give your balloon a name, colour, shape and pattern and – if you’re super-competitive 😉 – you can select different features for your balloon such as weight, which will determine its flight performance and boost your chances of winning!

Entry is just £3 per balloon and, with almost 700 followers on our Facebook page, we’re inviting you all to join us in this fun event to support our community charity. Spread the word with your Facebook friends and help us crown Team Blairgowrie RDA the winners in the Coronation Day race!

Sign up at https://ecoracing.co/user/page/1495 and let’s get ready for lift-off on 2 June!
