Thanks for having a look at our page. We hope you will join our virtual balloon race that launches at noon on 1st May from St. Petersburg, Russia. By joining in you will help us raise funds for the good causes we support locally in Milngavie and Bearsden, in East Dunbartonshire, in Scotland and Internationally. The race uses actual weather conditions at the launch site and where your balloon is throughout the 7 days of the race. You can follow your balloon throughout the race with updates every 30 minutes.

In buying a Balloon, you not only have a chance of winning a great prize, you can have fun creating your own unique design. Get your family, friends, colleagues and club members to join in as well and see whose balloon travels the furthest. If you want to be more technical, investigate the best shape and pressure to help your balloon travel furthest. Will your design stand out amongst the rest?

The more balloons you buy the greater the chance of winning.

There are prizes for the winning balloons:- £500 cash, Apple iPad and £10 book tokens. In addition to the overall prizes, there is a £50 cash prize for the ‘Allander’ balloon that travels the furthest from the start at St. Petersburg.

Allander Rotary is now 50 years old and throughout this time it has been raising money for a wide range of local, national and international charities. Its been harder to do in the past year due to Covid and we hope this new venture will encourage you to help us.
It’s not only the 7 day race, when you can watch your balloon cross the earth’s surface and check up on your progress every 30 minutes, but also the fun time you can spend in advance artistically designing your balloon but also what shape, what pressure and what name or message. Not into that, then just pick a shape, opt for a pressure out of the air (no pun intended) and put your name on it.

A small example of charities that Allander has supported in recent years are East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid, Kidney Kids Scotland, CHAS, Milngavie Youth Centre, Young Carers, Beatson Cancer Charity, East Dunbartonshire Food Bank, WheelPower and End Polio Now.
