STACK had other ND's BEFORE AP,
Indeed. And Keith is quite right to point this out. And he is right to comment that there will be other NDs as well. Kathy Jarvis is quoted as saying that the ND makes of STACK what he/she wants to. And I agree with that.
Please do not lose sight of the fact that STACK's formal remit is actually quite narrow, and really only embaces the running of the STACK UK championship (otherwise referred to as the National Championship but lets not go there).
Trick Competitions, Better Flying Days and Sport Kite News is where I choose to take STACK UK. The next ND may do things very differently and that is their decision to make.
All of this is actually closer to us than the end of the summer. The latest edition of STACK UK Bulletin will go out later this week, inviting nominations for STACK council elections in August/September. The deadline for nominations is the end of June.
