Win a champage flight in a hot-air balloon

THERE will be an opportunity to get a view of Henley from the air thanks to one of the sponsors of this year’s Le Cordon Bleu Henley Food Festival.

Champagne Taittinger is offering Henley Standard readers the chance to win two prizes of a balloon flight in the Taittinger hot-air balloon on the morning of the first day of the festival, Saturday, May 16.

Each prize includes a flight for two people at 6.30am, plus two tickets for the festival, a glass of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs and light refreshments on landing. Each winner will also receive a signed certificate.

If the flight is not possible due to bad weather, a magnum of Taittinger will be sent to each winner instead. To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is send a postcard or sealed envelope with your name, address and daytime telephone number to: Balloon competition Henley Standard, Caxton House, Station Road, Henley, RG9 1AD by the closing date of Friday, May 1. The winners will be the first two people whose entries are drawn out of the hat.

Only one entry per person is allowed and entrants must be over 18 and resident in the UK.

The balloon carries four people and the pilot and two other passengers may be included on the winner’s flight. Winners must adhere to any conditions, rules and regulations set out by the pilot. The pilot reserves the right to postpone a flight if he or she deems it unsuitable to fly. You must not fly if you are suffering from a serious medical condition or have recently undergone surgery unless you have a certificate of your fitness to fly from your doctor. You must not fly if you are pregnant or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Insurance for the flight is included in the prize. Winners will be returned to the balloon site after the flight.

Winners will be notified by May 8. No cash alternatives will be offered. Employees and their immediate families of Hatch Mansfield, Champagne Taittinger, the Henley Standard and anyone directly connected with this promotion are excluded from participating. All normal Henley Standard rules apply. To see them, visit www.henleystandard.co.uk

The Standard is a silver sponsor of the food festival.
