The British Balloon Museum and Library is the official museum of the British Balloon and Airship Club. It was formed in 1979 by a small group of balloonists, with the objective of preserving the many different items associated with and used in hot air and gas ballooning. The museum is run entirely by volunteers - not all balloonists - and is funded by private and corporate donations and annual subscriptions of the "Friends".

Press Release 4th January 2010
The UK Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race Committee is proud to announce that Bristol has been selected for the start of the race in September 2010 from a short list of four.
The Coupe Aeronautique Gordon Bennett is the oldest aeronautical event in the world, first held in Paris in 1906. Traditional gas balloons make flights lasting several days and the rules are simple - the balloon landing furthest from the take-off site is the winner.

This years BBM&L luncheon was an outstanding success.
Not only did we have a brilliant speaker, Dr Janet Folkes, who relived the Gordon Bennett flight of GBR2 with herself and Dr Ann Rich, but very generous items for the auction, and more attendees than we have seen for a number of years.
