We have been asked to provide Teddy bear parachuting at the above event on 11th April 2023. It is the Tuesday immediately after the Easter weekend, and before the start of Berck. A small team of volunteers are needed to help out at this one.
Thanks
Gareth

The event will run from 10am to 3pm. I'm not sure yet which field we will be put in. I will let you know as soon as I do.

No additional info. Play it by ear when we get there. I will hope to be there at about 9.30, Easter traffic permitting.

Looks like very non-kite flying winds expected on 11th. Not sure that any teddy bears will be braving it!

We should be fine Gerty, and given the weather conditions, I don't expect us to be very busy.

There may be access problems to Brogdale Tomorrow. There are signs at the Brogdale Road/London Road(A2) junction Faversham saying Road Closed. I am informed by local residents that you can still access Brogdale Farm through this junction but you may find access to the farm through the country roads to the south is blocked. Thought I'd warn you all.

Thank you to everyone who came along to help out at Brogdale. A start in wall to wall sunshine meant we had a busy morning bunging bears and other soft toys. Then, early afternoon the wind dropped and the rain started. But all in all a successful return.

It was a fun day and, after a slow start, we were flat out launching Teddy bears and other cuddly toys into the air; a good time was had by all! Nice to see Bill looking so much more bright and cheerful than I've seen him in a long time. Lovely to share time and chats with Sue and Steve, something that's not been possible for a long time, I really appreciate the effort you two made. Nice to see el president (Gareth) as well as Barbara and Mike, thank you Barbara for the gorgeous bread pudding I will miss enjoying more with you in Berck. Len was also there helping with the launching, you left so suddenly before we could all say goodbye.
