Balloons let off from a charity release at Stockport Rugby Club made thier way across to Ireland. Rising over the Cheshire plains, soaring across Snowdonia and out over the Irish sea, the balloons were found across Southern Ireland. Twenty five balloons were found in total and the furthest reply came from Kilcoe, on the Atlantic coast of Co Cork. The furthest balloon travelled 332 miles in just 24hrs !
The event was supported by Marketing Stockport members Assured Events and C&C Insurance Brokers and raised around £4,000 for the under 10 age group at the club. The money will go towards kits and accessories for the teams.
So in this modern era of digital – sometimes its the basic means of communication that gets results !
