Jill's Balloon Was The Winner - 12th September 1975

The winning balloon in a race organised by Bideford Lions Club last month from Bideford water carnival and the North Devon Agricultural Show was released by Mis Jill Cleverdon, of Hankford, Bulkworthy. It reached Edinburgh. The helium filled balloons were returned from many areas including Lundy, Wales, Tamworth and Southport. But one balloon only reached Mill Street, Bideford.
