HRB was present at the 2002 Basingstoke Big Balloon offering face painting and a treasure hunt competition to raise funds for the station. We also had reporters out and about reporting in live to the programmes throughout the day on Sunday - we were the only local radio station to be doing this on the Sunday afternoon!

Here's our photo diary of the event - click on each image to see full size...
