British Balloon and Airship Club
The British Balloon and Airship Club exists to promote the discipline of lighter-than-air flight: Hot Air Ballooning, Gas Ballooning, and Airship flying. Founded in 1965, the club is active in looking after the interests of its members, and has representation on most of the General Aviation Committees.
This is the first port of call for anyone interested in Hot Air Ballooning, whether as an existing pilot, an aspiring pilot, or someone with a general interest in ballooning as spectator or crew.
The club also organises and promotes competitive and international ballooning
