Bristol Balloon Fiesta


I have just put another one of Adrian’s great articles relating to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta, which took place on the 7th August.
Its of great interest to Nigel and I, because about 10 years ago we were the first motorhome club to go to the Balloon Fiesta.

Our great friends, Anne & Tom Obery, who live near Ashton Court arranged with the local farmer for the Gem club to stay on his field. I think there was originally a group of about 10 of us.

Since then they have always extended an invitation for the Gem Club to come along and join in the fun weekend.

What a surprise this year to see how that area of the farmers field has now grown into a Rally field with 271 motorhomes and caravans and enough room for Day Visitors and their cars.

Sounds like they all had great fun. To read more about Adrian’s article go onto our Information Centre and visit Adrian’s Arena.If you would like more information on the Balloon Fiesta please use this link http://www.bristolfiesta.co.uk/ .

Thanks Adrian.
