Fraserx Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yes Fraser nice account of the weekend looks like we will have to bring you along to more shows for the write up ,well it wouldn't be ya flying Oi! I'll have you know the National Trust contacted me after the weekend and thanked me for ploughing the field (though they did also request, rather snootily, that I return all the earth once I'd cleaned out me end caps, in case there were any endangered species of grass in there...). So there! I will add your link in thekitedens report Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraserx Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hello again everyone.As you know - I was tasked with writing a report on our weekend at Dunstable. It's done now and is about to be sent to KiteLife following a few wee tweeks suggested by Stephen and will thereafter be posted on here (don't get all excited - it ain't Shakespeare! LOL). Thing is, KiteLife need pictures and have asked me to gather a selection and send them to supplement the report. So, could anyone who has any pictures they'd allow to be considered, please send them to me? I need as big files as you have, according to KiteLife, and I'll need them to be titled - at least rudimentarily - so I know who they're of and what's happening (if it's not obvious, of course). Files, or collections of files - zipped or otherwise - up to 20MB, should be sent to (wait for it - this is good....): [email protected] Come on folks - I need your responses as quick as you can. Go on - you know you want to! Fraser I've just thought of a name for a new team.... PieQuad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just wondering if any more of these non-events were being organised or non-organised, its complicated but you get my meaningJade I wondered if early March, Blackheath would be a possibility for a non event of the large team variety!

Baloo Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Was amazed at how big Blackheath is when I went there a while ago. What is the accomodation like in that area?? Felix I know you are busy with the logistice for Festivals however to quote some film from a while ago. "If you build it they will come" In other words I am sure if someone was prepared not to arrange an non-event, there would be sure to be folks turning up. Afraid there is just no where suitable near me so I will just have to follow around the Country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay1957 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Good question Baloo I know there's a hotel on the Heath itself cant remember for the life of me what it's called, am on leave at the moment so will pop up there tomorrow Will also try to find out what else is available locally, although Blackheath is quit easily accesible from london by public transport.on the main A2 into London.

Simon Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 If you build it I will come... 1/2 March or 15/16 are both very good for me, but you will need to check who is away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 If you build it I will come...1/2 March or 15/16 are both very good for me, but you will need to check who is away. 1st Weekend of March Jacob is away. 9th and 16th look OK to me.

jay1957 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well it'sthe 9th so am off to Blackheath see who there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well it'sthe 9th so am off to Blackheath see who there, Hi Jade, Well I was there for a while. Good to meet with you. Do you have a 120ft line set? One of the things that we have found over the years is that 'team' flying as in flying with someone else forces the learning curve up by a considerable factor. 11:00am is the usual time on Sundays but the Blackwell Tunnel was closed this morning so I was late! 16th and 23rd March are likely but 30th we will be in Valencia. Please can anyone provide futher information about the 15th June event on Blackheath. Thanks Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay1957 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nice to have met you too Felix Hope to be there next week think I'm on lates so Hopefully come up in morning then leave there for work. not got the 120's yet but have got my name on a set as soon as kiteworld get them in.

Choccy Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 It was such a shame we couldn't make it to either of these training days, Stephen & co. Hopefully if you were to consider doing another one of these days, we'll try to free up the calendar given the chance! C&G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choccy Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well, it's FINALLY done! Whew! Yep - the report is here! You can see it in final form - ie: with pictures - on KiteLife at: http://www.kitelife.com/archives/issue58/d...ble58/index.htm but here's the text: the link no longer works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Aye, the site has been rearranged... kitelife.com/archives/issue58/dunstable58/index.htm Is now... kitelife.com/magazine/issue58/dunstable58/content.php That should work a-ok, note the two bold changes in the URL.
