Race Officials and Organisation Team

The Organising Committee for the Coupe Aéronautiqie Gordon Bennett 2010 consists of a number of highly-regarded individuals in the world of ballooning and event organisation. The success of any project relies on the people who drive it forward and make it happen. Committee personnel have long standing reputations for success in their own fields, producing the ideal team to implement the Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race from Great Britain.

The Flight Operations team for the race also consists of a number of extremely experienced people with vast knowledge of hot-air and gas ballooning; what they don't know isn't worth knowing.
