Round 3 - Update and Reminder

Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:51 am

A wee update on VF3 - There's about 2 weeks left to get footage sorted out etc. Email me if there are any queries about uploading or sending the files.

We've also had an influx of donations - Check the site for details.

Nope, I hadn't fallen off the map. Although one would be excused for thinking so...

OK - I've only received a couple of entries so far...

I'm putting serious thought into extending the submission deadline by 2 weeks (will be 28th March) in an attempt to get as many entrants taking part as is possible.

Before I go and update the site, I'd like your comments on whether or not you see this as a 'good idea' (tm)

That will help us BD as it's been pretty rough lately trying to get the kite in the air for more than a few seconds;)

Hello Davey. I was planning on emailing you to tell you to remove my name as it has been impossible for me to get any decent footage lately. Winds have either been ballistic or nothing the few times I have been able to fly of late.

Extending the deadline two weeks might help but is no guarantee that I can still submit something. Just a bad time of year for me and flying I guess. :(

Me too. Hoping to shoot some stuff on Sunday at Barbury Castle, so this will give me time to find the best 60 seconds and pick a tune.

OK - I'm extending the deadline until 28th March. Hoping that it'll give folk a decent chance to submit an entry.

There are, after all, some great prizes for this round!

Don't fret Neil, I've done another one (lack of confidence I know, sorry but I really just fancied a new camera shaped toy.).

Did you get it Davey?

Yay! Good fella!

I didn't even know round 3 had started until you posted the message saying there were only 2 weeks left.

Yay! An extra 2 weeks!
Everyone's right - what a lousy month for kiting - gale force winds or nothing at all.

Feel a kitey weekend coming on...

I entered a couple of days ago, although I'm not showing on the list yet. That makes 34 videos to watch :shock:
