Saturday 3rd January was a wash out. Sunday 4th January - A foggy Folly Dog Leg saw 9 balloons inflated. Not many, but several were new or rare so made the visit worthwhile. (Apologies for the picture quality- they're just a few snaps to record what was there!)
G-BHHN
G-BKVY
G-CHEL
G-CIJJ
G-CILO (the first inflated- still very foggy!)
G-CINN
G-EDRE
G-LORY
G-ZOIZ
3 of the Cloudhoppers
Over 25 balloons were registered for the event, and some of Sunday's were in addition to that, so given good weather it would seem that a good turn-out could still be expected.

Great shots zz, maybe you'd be kind enough to PM me as to how you managed to copy the thread across to here as I spent an hour last night trying to figure it out and still couldn't!

Graham - done.
FL240- I hope G-CIBA makes a proper appearance next year then. Although there is probably someone somewhere who will count the bag and basket as a sighting!
Cheers

It lives down in Wales, the owner was part of the Icicle team.
Will be interesting to see what replaces the Icicle Meet as this was the last, the local 3-4-40 club have announced that they will be holding a replacement meet, details to be announced...

I wasn't aware of that. It doesn't come as a great surprise, but a real shame nonetheless. I've just read the article on the Icicle website.
Add it to the long list of disappearing balloon meets!
FL240- are you Airspace under a different name?
