Fun day at Hayes with Balloon race.

Awesome Fun Day at Hayes Country Park

Maurice Fred Sines and James Crickmore are the co founders of Brighter Sines, an organization that runs fun day events.

On Saturday 28th September, with their support and hosting, Brighter Sines held a fun day at Hayes Country Park. The park is well set with Waterside Park and a very inviting country side. It has several onsite facilities. Its located just 5 minutes drive away from Woodham Ferrers and is next to the historic Chelmsford.

With just over 60 tickets sold, Maurice Fred Sines and James Crickmore, the co founders of BrighterSines, had the pleasure of releasing the balloons at 4pm on the day. The big balloon was, as the rule, given a short head start. In a few minutes, the 60 smaller balloons started going after it.

The objective of the race is to tag along the big balloons course and after it lands, drop a bag of birdseed as close to the landing point as possible. The one who gets closest to the big balloon is the winner of the race.

After a lot of anticipation the participants started streaming back.

And out of the 60, Barbara Woods was lucky to be declared the event champion.

She was awarded a cash prize of Fifty pounds, money that she happily decided to split between her two lovely grand children.

Final Thoughts

It might not have been a very sunny day but at least it was fair enough as it did not rain.

Our participants were overjoyed by the fun. They later sent us cards, notes and posters.

We are open to such gestures from people. We are always happy to show people that we are able to help them through fun. We can however do with more awareness, so please help us achieve more publicity. This is what would in turn help us help our neighbours. Charity begins at home, with our children.
