The Chiddingly Parish Bonfire Society (C.P.B.S.) was founded on 10th October 2020 at the Six Bells Public House with the ambition of creating a community asset for the Parish of Chiddingly, representing Chiddingly at bonfire events across Sussex & Kent, introducing new members to the wonderful Sussex bonfire tradition.

Saturday 26th November 2022 saw Sussex Bonfire celebrations return to the Parish of Chiddingly for the first time in 110 years. Now, C.P.B.S. is working towards hosting these traditional celebrations in Chiddingly for the future years to come.

Therefore we are joining in this virtual balloon race to raise funds.

There are national prizes up for grabs for the balloons that fly the furthest, from everyone joining this race:
* 1st: £100 cash prize
* 2nd: Amazon Alexa / Echo dot 4th Generation

Each balloon costs just £3 and you can buy as many balloons as you want to increase your chances of winning.

Setting off on Valentines Day from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it's a seven-day computer simulation race where everything is real except the balloon. The direction and distance the balloons fly is based completely on the way you customise your balloon, and the weather during the week. Other hazards can also affect your balloons flight such as low flying geese if your balloon doesn't have enough helium!

You can buy a virtual balloon for just £3 and give it a name, colour, shape and pattern.

Following the launch each balloon can be tracked on the race page.

Please do share our virtual balloon race with as many friends and family members that you can (you can even gift balloons!).

Our fundraising target is: £1000

Gross monies raised so far: £159

Supporters so far: 25
