Pinney Talfourd Solicitors released over 600 balloons at Upminster Cricket Club during their great charity balloon race on Thursday in a mass of purple across the sky.

Local residents and fellow businesses donated to Pinney Talfourd’s charity of the year Bertie’s Battle in return for a balloon tag. Support was fantastic and the event raised over £1,700 as well as lots of smiles from children who also got to take away a balloon.

Each tag was attached to one of the many balloons that took flight on a westerly wind towards Romford. They are now relying on the lovely local community to get in touch when they find a balloon tag to tell them where it landed. All successfully landed balloons will be mapped and the owner of the balloon that travels the furthest will win a prize. Tags have been returned from the South Coast and one from France! All landed balloons will be mapped on an interactive map displayed on their website. So if you bought a balloon make sure you check to see if yours has landed yet! www.pinneytalfourd.co.uk
