Our Hot Air Balloon Meets - everyone welcome!
Our club meets are not restricted to club members, everyone is welcome.

There isn't a charge to attend our meets either, with or without a balloon, there may be a small charge towards overnight stays in tents/caravans and motorhomes and this will be specified on the entry form. These need to be booked in advance please.

The closing date for entries is usually the Friday/Saturday prior to the meet to allow us to finalise the details with the site. However, if you have left it too late and the deadline has passed by, don't worry, just get in touch and we will try to fit you in.

For more information about our meets, please contact the club's meet organisers; Alex and Elaine Smith, via the email address; meets@prba.org.uk or telephone 07974 316123

White Horse Meet 13/06/2025  - 15/06/2025
Thirsk Racecourse, Newsham Road, North Yorkshire
What's this? The White Horse moved again to June?

Yes, that's right! The venue is so popular that we could only book for June in and around all the other event there, and balloon events around the country.

Same venue as usual. Thirsk Racecourse horsebox park, off Newsham Road.

This is one of the longest running meets in our calendar, (2025 will be our 26th visit!) and we have great pleasure in inviting everyone along to take part in the fun and friendly rivalry with the pilots trying their luck to win the White Horse trophy.

As well as the flying competition, you could try your hand in our Great PRBAke-off competition.

As before, we have the usual well-drained camping and launch area.

REGISTRATION
BY 01/06/2025 PLEASE


All on-site overnight stays must be pre-booked and paid for in advance please (at time of booking).

Refunds can only be made if the booking is cancelled before the deadline for entries.
