| Hot Air Ballooning Events and Meets |
This is where you can get information on where to see balloons in our region, or even join in.
Check also the Year Planner link for the complete calendar (all subject to confirmation, of course).
The late date for entries is a week prior to the meet. This is so we can sort out the gas ordering and any housekeeping with the sites but if you have left it too late, don't worry, a late entry may be possible at an increased fee level and we will try and fit you in.
See also www.balloonevents.org for a worldwide listing.

| The Canada Fields 'Rosy Flockers' Meet |
06/09/2024
- 08/09/2024 |
| Yafforth, Northallerton |
 So-called as its a mélange of the red rose of Lancashire and the white rose of the other place - hence 'Rosé'.
An invitation to aeronauts from both sides of the hill to 'Flock' together for an informal, fun-filled weekend away!
Organised by PRBA's Elaine, who says....
'The site is our Henge Hoppers site at Canada Fields caravan site, Moor Lane, Yafforth, nr Northallerton. OK, OK, so it isn't in Canada as such, but it is one of their fields!
- £15 a night, facilities available for those in tents, etc.
- LOADS of room to camp.
- LOADS of room to fly.
- Dogs welcome.
- Kids welcome.
- Fun welcome (bring your teepee, John R and Chris J).
Please RSVP to me here or complete a meet form on the website Hot Air Ballooning - Pennine Region Balloon Association (prba.org.uk)"
See you in Canada.' |
