    11/06/11 - Newport, Gloucs Balloon Comp

    StuC attended the evening launch of the IV Exclusive Cup held at Newport, Gloucestershire. 35 balloons had launched in the morning but the evening was marred by a rain shower that passed through just after the launch had started. This held things up and caused some competitors to either tether only or not even unbag.
