The balloon release organised by A.R.C at Amherst School today went off without a hitch. Over 350 children brought in donations to get a balloon to release with a lable on it asking people to carry on looking for Madeleine. As the head teacher blew a whistle all the children let go of their balloons. There was a big cheer as the sky filled with yellow balloons which went off in the direction of France. All the money collected will go together with money raised from the candlelit vigil at the town church to the Madeleine Fund.
