Chance to win in Allander Rotary charity balloon race
This time, the club is joining an innovative virtual balloon race, and inviting residents in Milngavie and Bearsden (and further afield if they choose!) to buy a balloon for the May Day race from St Petersburg.
There is also the added bonus for local entrants of winning a £50 cash prize – courtesy of Allander Rotary.

Club President Lynne Gibbons said: “We’re all looking forward to following our balloons as they are released in St Petersburg – and learning a wee bit about how to keep them in the air for as long as possible, in preparation.
"Some of us are wishing we’d paid a bit more attention in physics classes a long time ago!”
The prize list is extensive, and includes cash, an iPad and book tokens.
