Canowindra Challenge Incorporated

Organising Committee For "Canowindra Balloon Challenge".

Initially formed and Incorporated in 2010 to organise and run the 17th Australian National Ballooning Championship, CCI has continued as a strong, well organised, well structured community based organisation aimed at bringing tourism to Canowindra.

With the 2011 Championship event finishing successfully in all regards with fantastic ballooning competition, attracting over 11,000 visitors and financially in the black CCI decided to utilise the skills and the structure developed to run an annual ballooning event. This annual event has the sanction of the Australian Ballooning Federation and hence the creditability to provide a much needed international standard competition to assist Australia's top pilots to hone their skills or newer pilots to learn from their more experienced counterparts.

Every endeavour will be made to attract overseas pilots as well as a world class director.

A new committee was elected (click here) in July 2011 and planning is now well underway for the 2012 "Canowindra Balloon Challenge" to be held between 14th to 21st April 2012.

Ballooning offers many opportunities for local participation even if you don't own a balloon or wish to be a pilot. CCI welcomes everyone who wishes to have a bit of fun, join in with a great group of people from all over Australia and contribute to the community.
