At our next meeting the balloon will be going up!

By -
Don't miss our very special and exciting speaker for this month - we are excited to be meeting Allie Dunnington, who will be telling us about her life in the world of hot-air balloons. Allie and Phil Dunnington run a niche company specialising in international filming from the unique perspective of a hot-air balloon, which comes into its own with wildlife filming and you will surely have seen TV footage filmed by Allie and Phil and their team.

As well as film-making, training balloon pilots and running adventure tours, their company, Gone With The Wind, is a consultancy on commercial ballooning operations and public events. This is going to be a fascinating and unusual evening - don't miss it!

Looking forward to seeing you - and you're more than welcome to bring a female friend along!

A special thanks to those who helped the evening go smoothly, despite the change of venue. Unfortunately, it appears February is going to turn cold once again!

We will be meeting in our usual location, the rear hall of Alma Church, at 7.30pm. Visitors are a...
