In. Think I will have to arrive on Saturday morning for this one and leave Sunday evening.

We always try and bring something new to each Filey meet and build upon the last. The previous fly saw the addition of county flags for each flyer (if you are planning on coming please PM me asap and i'll try to get your flag), a superb trick out comp, ice cream van doing the rounds, a movie night projected onto the camper (this may not occur this one :-( ), KAP photography taking superb photos, even a fly past of a Vulcan bomber, spitfire, Lancaster bomber and hurricane. Ok the last part wasn't down to us lol.

So what's new for this one? Let's start with Jam Roly Poly and custard after Steves legendary curry night, new kites - Superfly (x2), Deep Space Vtd, a Zero 1.1 glider from Horvath, and the cherry on the cake...a Skykiller UL from Lumokites (big respect to Antonis) to try out. I believe we are the first in the UK to get our hands on one of these beauty's.

So will Simon retain his trickout crown or will some new blood knock him off the pedestal and proudly get to sign the flying monkey kite? Get down to Filey and find out.

We have some serious head wetting to do on the Saturday night so I shall bring this along. Sundays flying should be interesting.

Just 6 days to go to this final meeting at Filey for 2014. The long range forecast is looking very promising and were hoping for a repeat of 2012 when we had some great weather. Hopefully we will see some new faces at the meeting. Our regular hard core group will be their for the duration so if you fancy calling in for one of the days then just head for the car park and fields on the cliff tops.
Just a reminder that these are informal fly meets to give freestyle kite flyers a chance to meet up, fly and talk kites, drink, eat,sleep and generally just have fun at a great relaxed location with good fascilities. :D :D


All the best guys.

Movie night is now confirmed for the saturday night after the curry. We will be projecting Trick or Treat onto the side of Shaun's camper. Shaun gets big respect - he has also hand produced a wooden trophy for the trick out. I will try and get a pic up of it..its gob-smackingly good.

And thanks to Simon we also have an NMKG mug for the most improved flyer.

So with almost perfect weather predicted there is probably a trick flyers perfect weekend coming up.

I hate watching "Trick or Treat" it reminds me of just how much I still have to learn. It never gets any easier. :-(

I seem to have an uncanny ability to book my holidays to clash with your events. Maybe next year, although I can't see getting a pass out for Barcelona. ;)

So the Filey weekend is over. The event was a great success particularly because the weather and winds were great. It was sad that Mark Clements was not able to make this one and Yan had to pull out on the 12th hour. You were missed guys. We had a few new faces come up for the meeting. Gary Hope came over from Leeds on Friday and Phil and his wife Gill traveled up from Scunthorpe for the duration. We suspect Phil who is a member of the NKG will be a regular not just at Filey but at our Ponty fly meets. Great to have him on board..
The trick out was a battle to the end and the results will be posted by Ian Perks in due course. I am told Steve has over 60 minutes of video to edit down so that should keep him busy for some time. He is hoping to get something together within a week. It was another great social get together and hopefully we will see some of you next year. So watch this space for any post Filey updates and vids.

NMKG

PS We promise we wont bang on about Jon, just a little vid, or two, or three lol :D
