North and Midlands Meet Ups

Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:53 pm

Calling all Northern Kite Monkeys (as in North of Watford Gap)

Just looking for an expression of interest in terms of setting up a once per month (or even once every couple of months) meet up for trick flyers over the Winter.

I see this as being more a chance to meet up and fly together and share knowledge. More a kiter's cooperative than anything else.

I've no intention to suggest these are Better Flying days as such, although I'm sure we all chip in with offering advice to those further down the learning curve.

Obvious venues are Hinckley (possible November date) and the Dips on the Wirral, but happy to consider a suggestion of any site that can accomodate a number of flyers.

Let us know what you think.

Hinckley is good for me, the Wirral is too far from Oxford.

I'd be up for it! I can also recommend a flying site close to J28 & J29 off the M1 if that would be any closer to those who live 'up north!

That'll do for one! :thumbsup:

Possibly not ideal for me. It's easier to get away flying when my son's playing Rugby at home, but I shan't deprive anyone else of the benefit of Bryan's input and I will do my best to get there. ;)

I could make Hinckley. I don't know that many kiting folk so it will be interesting just how bad my skills suck !

John - I could bring my old nirvana if you wanna have a go. One would of warning it has been pimped up a bit and has seen more action that Chuck Norris :roll:

Immigration have been informed - it cost me a bribe to secure the permit. ;-)

Be good to see you John - and a few new faces and the regulars well. Let's call it 'Not a BFD'.
