Was thinking of going to this but it clashes with the Heli Challenge which is also on next weekend  :(

I can think of quite a few balloons I know and the last thing you would want is to see them all together - MAYHEM! ;D

Interesting idea this,but can`t help thinking the venue isn`t ideal,and is bound to cause distraction to traffic on the nearby M1.
