Hornets Nest Egg is launching its latest fundraiser - a balloon race!

Up to 1000 balloons will be released before the Oldham game on Sunday August 14th, but you can buy a balloon in advance from Nest Egg members. And the more we can sell, the more we can boost Nest Egg funds.

Entry costs just £1 per balloon - with the furthest travelled balloon winning £100; the person finding and returning furthest travelled balloon wins £50!

The Hornets Nest Egg Balloon race has been kindly sponsored by STERN FENCING of Rochdale and we thank them for their support. Thanks too to Dave Withington for organising this big event. For a balloon sales form, call Jim on 07876 011 084 - or ask Dave Withington at a game. And if you want to buy a balloon - or two; or ten - you can email your details to jim@rochdalehornets.com (I'll collect your money at the Barrow game).

This is the first time we've tried a big fundraising event and your support is important. Please help out of you can.
