Cherry Festival Brogdale Sunday 17th July 2016

[malcolmf]

Kent Kite Flyers have been invited to bring along the Teddy Bear Parachuting, kite making workshop and fly kites to enhance the Cherry Festival at Brogdale. This is a one day event

This bringing this back to the top, as it is less than 3 weeks to go to the Cherry Festival. As there is a new event co-ordinator at Brogdale , finalisation of details are stil being made, as to timing of arrival, parkinge and where we are going to be located. May need assistance in the Kite making workshop as our 8th grandchild is due on 13th July, so Grandma Debbie, may have to be helping out the new mum. Bill is bringing along the Teddy Bear Parachuting and will need help, with the parachuting and the control of any wayward bears and children/adults. Hope there will be room for flying. Will update as we go along

Bit short of helpers for this coming event on Sunday 17th. So far ther is only Bill and Len doing the Tedy Bear Parachuting, whilst I am running the kitemaking workshop. I realise it is a difficult time of year as members have other committments as well as holidays.

This year the start of the festival has been brought forward to 10am on the Sunday and we are required to be set up by that time. Only Bill's car and mine will be allowed to park on the fields. Other cars have to go in the main car park. obviously if you arrive early enough you may be able to sneek onto the flying field which is the usual one at the back behind the wooden shelter and train station field. Although you may be asked to move it, by the new events organiser at Brogdale. I would like to keep working with Brogdale in a positive mannner, as it means it make it easier for me to arrange Christmas Social and AGM venues. although not ideally situated it has worked well over the last few years.

If you are coming along please let me know as we have to obtain wristbands to allow you free movements around the festival.

Thanks

Should be there. But if we have to park in the car park I might decide to go somewhere I can fly kites instead.

Kites can be still flown in the rear field as well as the TBP, but understand your reasoning, I will try to get the new organiser to change her mind, but cannot guarantee it, as she says the other traders will be demanding the same allowance for vehicles.

Thanks Bazjan, I know you are unable to assist on the kite making workshop, but perhaps you can either write out certificates for the Teddy Bear Paracuting or supervise the taking of monies/ decorating kites at the kite making workshop. You will probably be asked to park in the main car park
