The Welham Green Balloon Day Group was formed to remember this event annually with festive celebrations on the village green and other activities around the village. This year’s event is to be held on 15th September. Planning is under way. However, we are hoping that local residents and businesses will come forward to lend their support. The group can be contacted by sending an e-mail to info@welhamgreenballoonday.co.uk or by telephoning 01707 27481.
