Awesome Fun Day at Hayes Country Park

Maurice Sines and James Crickmore are the co founders of Brighter Sines, an organization that runs fun day events.

On Saturday 28th September, with their support and hosting, Brighter Sines held a fun day at Hayes Country Park. The park is well set with Waterside Park and a very inviting country side. It has several onsite facilities. Its located just 5 minutes drive away from Woodham Ferrers and is next to the historic Chelmsford.

On such a day there are usually various events such as the Cash Grabber challenge, Bungee Run Inflatable, Penalty Shoot Out among many. We had quite a good number of fun events at Hayes Country Park. There were expectedly Food Court and children’s activities to occupy people till the main event, the big amazing traditional “hounds and hare” balloon race, with the big balloon being the perfect hare.

With just over 60 tickets sold, Maurice Fred Sines and James Crickmore, the co founders of BrighterSines, had the pleasure of releasing the balloons at 4pm on the day. The big balloon was, as the rule, given a short head start. In a few minutes, the 60 smaller balloons started going after it.

The objective of the race is to tag along the big balloons course and after it lands, drop a bag of birdseed as close to the landing point as possible. The one who gets closest to the big balloon is the winner of the race.

After a lot of anticipation the participants started streaming back.

And out of the 60, Barbara Woods was lucky to be declared the event champion.

She was awarded a cash prize of Fifty pounds, money that she happily decided to split between her two lovely grand children.
