In addition we have arranged with the organisers, AvantiGas and Silverstone that the pumped and metered propane supply will be available for refuelling during the event at a cost of £0.55 pence per litre plus VAT which will be charged at 20%.
A deposit of £250.00 will be required (supplied to the organisers in advance) to use this facility. The deposit for propane will be charged within the same transaction as your registration fee and any camping tickets. A propane card will be issued to each balloon team which will need to be signed by a member of your team after each fill to indicate that they have received the amount of propane shown on the card.
