Members of the choir have been selling the balloons, which are shown being released, since the summer in a bid to raise funds for an overseas tour next year.

What a stupid idea for fundraising, balloon releases cause litter, pollution and are dangerous to all animals including farm animals, and marine life.
These people who thought of this should have more sense and a more responsible attitude

Exactly what i was thinking Swampy, what next? Chinese lanterns!!! I had one of them come down on my cushioned patio chair some months ago and melted the cushion, could easily have been a fire if it wasn't fire retardant!
