August Bank Holiday 2009 and the BLOODHOUND team were taking part at the Imagineering Fair at the Country Festival held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. The full size show car was there proudly overseeing the event, along with the 1/10 scale model and the cutaway rocket engine.
However, the major attraction at this show was the activity developed by the Education Team - children of all ages all wanted to build and test their balloon cars!
The pictures really tell the story ...
The counter gets busy with everyone wanting to try.
Tony Parraman has his work cut out trying to keep up!
Let's get making ...
Next stage is to blow up your balloons ...
Ready for launching ...
A wonderful time was had by all, especially the VIP guests ...
Thanks to the BLOODHOUND team and helpers: Dave Rowley, Krishan Meetoo, Tony Parraman, Dawn Fitt, Kate Bellingham (and all her family!), Nick Chapman, Graham Lockwood and BLOODHOUND 1K Club Ambassadors David Barker, Cole Soutter, Andrew Wilkins, Doug Ellison, Helen Maffin and Simon Veale, and to Imagineering for making it all happen. Thanks also to the children's parents for allowing us to use the pictures (which were taken by Nick and Krishan).
Note to Teachers: More BLOODHOUND activities like these can be found in the Education section of this website.
