Filey Fly Meet 2018

Hi Guys. Just a quick note to let you know that we are having a meeting at Filey from Friday 22nd June through until Sunday 24th June. We are camping out at the Filey Brig Campsite which has proved popular in the past. The post code for the campsite is YO14 9ET.
As usual this is a relatively small informal meeting of like minded trick kite flyers and creates an opportunity to have a weekend of fun centered around our passion for trick kites. There will be plenty of flying, eating, chatting and drinking in what has proved in the past to be a great venue to fly. The campsite is surrounded by fields on the cliff tops and if the tide is favourable then we may even get to fly on the beach. If enough people show up we usualy run a fun trick off comp on the Saturday. So why not help us to keep the sport of trick kite flying alive in the UK by joining us. Even if you can just get across for one day the NMKG would love to meet you. If the long range forecast is correct then we could be in for a scorcher of a weekend. In addition we think Steve will be making his famous curry again so we will need some idea for numbers. Any questions that you may have then please send a PM or post on here and someone will get back to you. Attached is a link to the post on Northern Monkeys Facebook page highlighting the event.
Smooth winds to all.

I've had this booked for a few weeks now. Always a great meet up at Filey. The evening flying on the cliff tops before beers and chat is always one of my highlights.

In and booked.

Need to blow the dust off the kitebag. All work and no play has made me a very, very dull boy.

Mark Clements (JoE) is also confirmed. Cannot wait, tick tock, tick tock :)

Fantastic weekend of flying at Filey. Now into our 6th year of kite meetings at this location and not one of them has been spoilt by the weather. This year however boasted the best most consistent winds that we have ever experienced. So the Venteds never saw the light of day and at no point over the three days were we not able to fly due to no wind. Great group of flyers doing what we enjoy best. On top of that throw in some Beers, BBQs, Fish and Chips on the sea front ,Curry night and Pizza night and it all adds up to another great weekend of flying. I think Ian Perks mentioned getting some pictures up at some point.
