A date has been agreed with Kristian for a kite weekend at the above venue which is on the road from Sitingbourne to Isle of Sheppey. I will post postcode in due course. It is probable camping will be allowed. Kristian is allowing KKF to use the site for fly-ins during this yearfull. The actual details are still under discussiona nd will update. Another date to put in your diary. With the dearth of large festivals within reasonable distance of Kent, I feel it is imperative to support events within Kent to the best of members ability in regard to time.

This is still going ahead, just trying to finalise the camping side of the event, especially around security and disposal of waste products from caravans/camper vans.
Still trying to finalise Teston and working with this weekend, so basically trying to prioritise the event which is immediate. Will get it to-gether in the next day or so, as I have been at Teston this morning to put up posters and then to Brogdale in regard to August Bank Holiday and Christmas

He all, looking forward to this flying weekend. It's a Kite flying event, kites kites and kites. Maybe an ice cream van if I can get one we are not putting on all the jazz around it. On the Saturday we can't get access to the site until 10am as Park run will be in full flow but can be as early as you want on the Sunday. I have a large frog that someone can put up if they want to on the day. I can donate that to the group if it's any use to you.
Look forward to seeing you all. Kris

So far, there has been no interest indicated to me of kiteflyers from other clubs or from the kiteweekenders in regard to this two day event. I am just posting to find out who would be coming for the two days or only for either the Saturday or the Sunday.

I'm interested in supporting the event but not happy about camping there on my own. Driving home and ba k the next day would also be a bit of a pain as I would have to empty the car and then load it all back up the next day. Let's hope a bit more clarity on who's attending/camping comes through soon.

Peter, will not be able to clarify the situation on camping until the beginning of the week before the event, knowing where you live, I understand the difficulty of loading/unloading your car

Steve, Sue and Tim,
Thanks for your replies.
I believe Peter H will be there on both days, as will I, but again have been requested to trade kites, so may not be able to fly, although I will bring some kites along for flying if opportunity arises
