Have had a communication from Billy Souten from the Midlands Kite Flyers. He is currently in Kent retracing his youth and has asked if anyone would be willing to fly with him on Friday 7th August. He originally comes from Lydd so I suggested The Lade as a possible site not realising that some had flown there this weekend.
I will be arranging to meet him at The Lade on Friday 12.00 ish, weather permitting, and all KKF members who can make it would be more than welcome. Hope to see some of you there.

Bills a good guy and chair of Midland Kite Flyers. I'll try and make it, always nice to fly with a club member.

Looks like another 'not-on-a-Sunday' fly-in Len 😉 Yes, I would have been there but I have more than one string to my Bow, and am committed to Volunteer at the Medway Men in Sheds Group, and As A Radio Presenter on Radio Sunlight, both on Fridays. I am also committed to other interests on 2nd and 4th Mondays, also every Thursdays. Oh, I also forgot when we are allowed back to Sailing at Kearsney Abbey, I am committed on the 1st Wednesday and Sundays. Busy Busy Len. |

Yes, like you, I also have several other interests but for me kites are my first love. Everything else, apart from my church and my faith, comes second. |

We had a great afternoon trying to fly with Billy Souten. He managed three kites whilst the resat of us only just managed one apiece before the wind ran out and we had little choice but to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air whilst putting the world to rights. Left at 6.00 ish in a very comfortable 26 degree heat, arrived back to 30 degrees on the drive at home. Phew! Billy returns home tomorrow having touched base with his roots in Lydd and Tenterden. He passes on his regards to all the KKF members who know him. Mike  |
