Jan Kerr from Canowindra was the guest speaker at the February meeting, where she outlined some highlights of the Hot Air Balloon Flights business she operates along with her husband and son.
From beginning in 1986 with one balloon, they now have four balloons of different sizes to accommodate varying numbers of passengers and are licensed to operate in a strictly regulated industry with the same rules as apply to aircraft to ensure safety.
The geography and weather of the Canowindra area has proved to be an ideal location for hot air ballooning.
President Kaye Kilby had the pleasure of presenting Helen Finlay with her 20 year long service badge and certificate during the meeting.
