THEME 2015
Having heard about us from different media in
recent months, the CRM (world record
committee) contacted Edphy to propose an
unusual challenge for our 50th anniversary -beat the 1965 record of Alfonse, a man who
travelled around the world in a hot-air balloon
in just 80 days.
In an old trunk full of archives, we found
articles relating to the highlights of Alfonse’s
adventure with enough information to contact
him to ask him to be the mentor of our
adventure, which we will attempt to do in less
than 50 days. Fortunately, Alphonse accepted
to guide and advise us along our trip, which
will be challenging. The CRM will also follow
us closely and will request proof of our visits
each week. It’s the committee members who
will decide, if we can pursue to the next week
So, take out your passports and prepare
yourself because the adventure begins on
June 29th and we will need each child to be
at his or her best!
