Balloon Race Results Announced
Monday 05 Feb 2007
On Tuesday 30th January 500 balloons were released from the Beit Quadrangle to mark the launch of the Imperial College Centenary.Since then over a dozen balloons have been found by members of the public and posted back to the Union.
Balloons have been retrieved from a variety of locations across East London, Essex and Kent and the students and staff who sponsored these balloons will win prizes ranging from IPod Nanos to Centenary Wine.
The first prize weekend break in Paris for two goes to the student who sponsored Balloon number 239. This special balloon somehow found its way to Oberzeuzheim, 590 kilometres away from London in West Germany, outpacing its rivals by over 500 kilometres.
