TAVISTOCK Lions Club has regrettably had to cancel Saturday evening’s hot air balloon glow at Tavistock College because the weather does not look favourable.

Lion Steve Grummitt said it was a shame but as some of the balloonists came from as far as Gloucestershire and the Bristol area and the weather forecast looked ’dire’ for Saturday, a decision had to be made early.

’We are sorry to disappoint everyone but there is a possibility we may be able to run it later in the year,’ he said.

A balloon glow, which involves a host of lit up balloons tethered to the ground, has provided quite a spectacle over the last two years at the college.
