Bimbar's Birthday - 50 Balloons

The 50 Balloon Lift off from Chalkwell Essex 18.00 Feb 25th 2017

Last night from a garden in a leafy suburb of Southend on Sea, to celebrate the fortieth birthday of  'Duracell bunny' Bimbar Roberts, 'celebrity chef', 'raconteur' and 'bon viveur', fifty labelled helium filled biodegradeable balloons were launched by a motley band of family, friends and wellwishers. If you come across a label please send a comment to this blog stating where it was found and any other relevant data you wish to share on line.

The legendary 'Steve Dongle', Eco-warrior and environmental activist  has agreed that for every label found and reported to this blog he will donate £5 to UNICEF.

Steve commented "Helium is a very useful and finite planetary resource so it's imperative that the Helium used in this event is not wasted.  Please send in those comments and maximise the money I donate to this amazing charity"

"Every one of us in our daily lives affect our fragile ecosystems. Every balloon you inflate, every membrane you dilate, every birthday you celebrate - I'll be watching you!" Steve Dongle; Eco-warrior, environmental activist and compiler of the Waveney Gazette's Top 100 Trees.
