Inflate the Balloons & Attach Balloon Race Tickets
On the day of the event - inflate your balloons and attach the balloon race labels. The nearer you do this to the time of the balloon event the further the balloons will travel. Dont start too early and never blow up the balloons prior to the balloon release day. Helium filled balloons will over time - lose their gas - but should stay inflated for quite a few hours - and of course once released into the sky - they will stay inflated for longer.

Place all balloons in the balloon release nets.
Do not be fooled into thinking that you dont need a Balloon Release Net - a Balloon Release Net will ensure that the balloons are kept together securely until the balloons are ready to be real eased.

Balloon releases are a really spectacular way to celebrate a special occasion. Balloon races & balloon releases are becoming a really popular way of raising funds. Whether it be raising funds for charities - or for school fund raising or just to launch new products a balloon release is a spectacular sight and a a great fun event.The most successful events are organised using Balloon Release Nets to hold the balloons
Balloon Launch
Some balloon races and releases are organised using the idea that leading up to the day of the balloon release from the balloon net - tickets can be sold The tickets can be printed with the name and address of your school or organisation or company etc
On the day of the release / race the labels are attached to the helium filled balloons which, at a given time are released from the balloon net. Each balloon label has a request that the finder should post it back to the school. Prizes are given to the person whose label is returned from the furthest point. Many labels are returned from Europe.

IMPORTANT ADVICE |
DO! |
DONT! |
|
Use only bio-degradable latex balloons and hand tie them |
|
Use any foil or non-latex balloons |
| |
|
|
|
|
All balloons must be filled with Helium. Helium balloons are lighter than air and rise naturally - the gas expands causing the balloon to burst into tiny fragments hastening the decomposition process. |
|
Attach ribbons, valves or string to the balloons being released as they or often non-biodegradable and can endanger wildlife. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Ensure that all balloons sold near the balloon release site are weighted and cant escape. |
|
Release any balloons that are larger than 12 inches. |
| |
|
|
|
|
ESSENTIAL!
For balloon releases of over 5000 balloons you must have the written consent of the Civil Aviation (CAA). For releases below 5000 balloons, written approval is not required by the CAA.
The CAA can be contacted on 020 7453 6599,
