Invitation to Ballooning - Saturday AM flight

You must be a Full Student Member or a Supporter to register for a flight. We may ask for ID. You also need to be 18 years or over to fly with BUHABS.

Approx 5.30-6am meet time at Richmond Building, Queen's Road. Exact time tbc.

Please make sure you give the correct mobile number when signing up - we communicate with you exclusively by phone. This must be a UK number or be on WhatsApp.

Pilot Briefing - Expect contact from one of the pilots on Friday 8.30-10pm. If you do not answer your phone when called/messaged, we may have to remove your flight booking - we give you safety information over the phone, among other things.

You understand that ballooning is a team sport and you may be required to crew/retrieve. We operate a crewing points system to reward people who volunteer to help chase the balloon.

Please wear sturdy footwear - we will be in the countryside, walking boots or old trainers will be acceptable. Sandals, flip flops, heels are not permitted. And expect it to be a bit chilly at times - wear long sleeves.

If you fly in the balloon, the £45 flight fee is paid after the flight by scanning a QR code and completing payment through our SU online page.

Please do not stay up late drinking. You will not be able to fly in the balloon if we suspect you are drunk or hungover.
