Club/Team/Organisation Name:

The BBAC Competitions Club

About Our Club/Team/Organisation:

The Competitions Club exists as part of the UK’s governing body for ballooning, the British Balloon & Airship Club (BBAC), and our primary purpose is to organise and run competition events in the UK in order to find the best pilots to represent the country in World and European class championships. Annually, the Competitions Club organises three weekend Grand Prix competitions held at different locations across the UK and a week-long British National Hot Air Balloon Championship. The national ranking, produced by the Club based on the results from the Grand Prix events and the Nationals, is used to determine the British team at World and European championships. The World championships are held every two years with the European championships taking place on the alternate years.
