Felix Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Still working on that arena - in the meantime anyone fancy a routinue around this? http://www.dailymail...leepy-park.html That looks like it is placed to the west of the war memorial close to the road just where Rev fliers have congregated previously. I hope that the dedicated arena is possible <grins> Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kite Society Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) Well, we have managed to get a REV Arena for Portsmouth, it is in the same place as the Rev Arena was in 2008 (down by the bouncy castle) However..... The Rev Arena will be quite close to the tail of the Dinosaur (see previous post) , so it might not be quite rectangulat in shape, with a bit of a dog leg around the dinosaur's tail -thats one sentence I never thought I would write!

I wonder how many fliers will be there? The Decs should be 8 <EDIT or should that be 9?> Felix Edited August 6, 2010 by Felix Mottram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Sounds good Felix. Obviously good for any Mega practicing that is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Sounds good Felix. Obviously good for any Mega practicing that is needed. That was the idea. We fly Mega Team in the dedicated area as a warm-up for those that have not done it before. We also have a space for the 'performing' teams to get up to speed ahead of arena presentations. Individual fliers should also have the opportunity to fly together without risk of general public walking through their lines. I hope that we can all meet if needs be, early and informally, on Saturday/Sunday mornings to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the 'ad hoc' arrangements.

Baloo Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I would think that Mega fly practice should take pride of place. Working out who is best placed where on the grid. (standing well away with hands in pockets best for me. I volunteer myself as ground crew) If individual fun fliers are able to make use of the area might I suggest that they bring shortish linesets so as not to interfere in the bigger picture. Of course being able to crack on with longer lines when the area is not being used for more "serious" practice. Anyway, my twopennieworth. I will not be there too early, and at the moment plan on Sunday only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant- Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 If we make it down to Portsmouth I'd love to have a go in the Mega Fly - but I've never flown team before, just a bit of one on one with Kathy and we've not had much luck twisting lines yet....

Felix Hi Felix, there are still quit a few are not too relaxed about flying in big groups. However, with some gentle persuasion we should get a good group going. PS Thanks Jon & Gill PPS Dear ALL, if you are on ANY other kite forums post that we need as many Rev flyers as possible at Portsmouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
