I'll be there on Sunday from midday with family in tow - so I'll look out for you!
Thanks for your kind offer of assistance - I will definitely grab you for some advice!
Thanks again :-)

I have been sent the following text which confirms that the event is going ahead:-
"Due to recent council efficiency measures, the events programme in Sunderland has been reviewed and developed to create a new festival in the summer of 2011. The "Sunderland Festival" (provisional title) will take place on July 2nd and 3rd 2011 at the Northern Area Playing Fields in Washington and in other venues around the city including flagship parks and seaside resorts.
The new event will have a wider remit than previous kite and friendship festivals and will focus in particular on community participation and there are plans for music concerts each evening in a big top tent on site. Kites will still play a large part of the event with an area reserved for specialist kitefliers to demonstrate, and it is hoped that kitefliers from all over the UK come to take part. Sadly, there is no money to support travel and accommodation so it is unlikely that many international kitefliers will be able to join us, although they are still welcome. The city plans to invite a small number of guest kitefliers from a selected country and in 2011, it is likely that the guest country will be the USA.
We hope that, as in previous years, free camping and parking will be available for registered kitefliers, so if you are interested in attending The Sunderland Festival, please put the dates in your diary now. I hope to be able to send out more information soon and to start registration for kitefliers as soon as possible"
The Decs have attended this event 'most' years since the team was formed so I hope that we will find a way to get there again this year.

I got the same mail and I am hoping to get there again this year

I think that Dunstable, Sunday 2nd January 2011 is the most likely venue.
Parking is one pound I think and the 'facilities' are very good. We'll have to watch the weather though!
Felix
The parking is £1.50 but you do get a voucher for 50p to spend in the centre so as long as you use it it is really £1

It could be the Sunday if that provided sufficient recovery time. <grins>
Blackheath would be good for me for obvious reasons but I would be prepared to travel.
Felix
I would like to join in, will wait to see where.

Are there any Rev fliers that fly at Arbroath, I am spending a week there in september and it would be nice to meet up with someone.
Somewhere not too far away would be ok as well.
Regards

I am tied up for Sat and Sun but could posibly make it for the Monday, will there be a few rev fliers still there?
-
I have found Kiteworld to be great, just placed and order for a set of rev lines and had them in a week.
Found that calling them in the past has been no problem.

Lock up your daughters and Zens
...But seriously, fingers crossed the forecast is wrong....
So anyone else making the trip then?
Edit: was hoping my lil' order from Los Hermanos would arrive before I left but sadly won't be the case
Chris

It was an excellent weekend and thanks to everyone for their part in organising it.
It was great to meet up with someof the guys that were just names on the forum before.

I hope to come up for this one, its one weekend i have free and I can visit my Mum in Sunderland as well.
Looking forward to it, just hope nothing gets in the way.

..but it's not Christmas yet - are Flying Squad flying to a different calendar.
Following Bob's excuse, I just had an appointment with a Carol service. Apparently she was quite pleased with the result...
So - next gathering: 27th, or New Year?
It was a bit cold but we had a great time, thanks to everyone there.
I Dont think I can make the 27th but should be there in the new year.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

We would be more than happy Stephen. Have you any dates in mind. I think Big Peter needs us to avoid one weekend in February (20th and 21st) so he can be part of it.
I've borrowed a picture to show part of the flying site (our local field). We would be to the right in an adjacent enclosed field.
Picture courtosy of Choccys album - I hope it's okay
I could'nt get to Bri's do but it looked really good. Will try and get to this one if possible, my mum lives 15 mins away and it's a very familiar landmark to me (Penshaw monument)

I think it is amazing what Ben and Revolution have offered to do, great guys to deal with.

on ebay.co.uk there is a hoockey bag which will hod a few revs very nicely and has a mesh pocket for handles and stake, also has a pocket which will hold lines very nicely.

Bought one for when i only want to take a couple of kites out.

I would like to come but will ait till dates are confirmed, either should be ok at the moment
-
I think I will book the week off and go as well, thats if im not made redundant.
(Maybe just use redundancy money if it happens)
-
I will need to compile a list of potential participants at an early stage so please do let me know if you would be interested in committing to such a project. Screen_Rings.tiff
Thanks
Felix
I would love to be involved with something like this.

I was at Woolacombe at the weekend and met up with Duncan, he has been flying Revs for 4 years and never flown with anyone before. In the 4 years he has been flying at Woolacombe beach he has never seen another rev there before.
I have attached a couple of pictures taken with a mobile phone camera.
Duncan did really well and if anyone else ever goes to Woolacombe in Devon he would love to fly with someone again.
-
I cant make it, will be at Woolacombe North Devon and hopefully get some flying in there.
Nicre big flat beach to fly on.
-
I have got lumbered with work this weekend so cant get there Sat or Sunday but may be able to get there Monday.
Hope you all have a good time.
