Northern Monkeys Kite Group. Filey 2014

Fri Jan 17, 2014 4:23 pm

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT....DATES FOR FILEY 2014

Hi Guys

Meeting one JUNE 27th,28th and 29th.
Meeting two SEPTEMBER 12th 13th and 14th.

As you are aware the Northern Monkeys have two fly in weekends at Filey, North Yorkshire. The dates for 2014 have been finalised and are listed above. The events run from Friday until Sunday and will be held at the Filey Brigg caravan Park. This location has hosted 4 previous events and has proved very successful. The campsite is surrounded by cliff top flying fields and the beach is a 5 minute walk. There are good wash facilities on site together with a superb cafe. We all normally pitch up together and share a communal gazebo/canopy equipped with BBQs and gas cookers.
This really is a great opportunity for like minded kite flyers to get together and have a mind blowing weekend of fun. As usual all the BBQs will be washed down with copious amounts of beer and if Narcis gets across from Barcelona we will even throw in some Sangria. This event is open to flyers of all skill levels so dont be shy.
Here is a link to last years post on Fractured Axel which contains details of the campsite and gives a flavour of what to expect. No doubt Steve will take care of one of the meals with his now renowned curry. If you have any questions then please post and they will be answered. So get the date in your diary and come and have some serious kiting fun. :D :D

PS If you are coming you will need to book your pitch in advance. Dont leave it till the last minute as one of us got caught out last year and had to camp elsewhere.

Im all booked on. A few more weeks and it will be time to start finalising the details like the list for the Saturday night "Curryfest". Looking at the confirmed numbers attending on the NMKG facebook page I think we might need two cookers on the go for the curry this year. :D :D

Well with only three weeks to go its time to start finalising plans. A lot of the planning and preparation for this Filey fly meet has been taking place on our Facebook site so if you haven't logged in then its well worth checking in. Heres the link Bhttps://www.facebook.com/northernmonkeyskitegroup.nmkg
But we appreciate that a lot of folk don't use Facebook hence this update on FA.

So far we have had an excellent response for numbers attending and this years fly meet has all the makings of being an awesome weekend. We are really pleased that Mark Clements has announced his intention to come and join us. Thanks for that Mark and we really appreciate your interest in the meeting. Our friend Yan Spooner (Stack 2014 Freestyle champion) will also be re-attending this year. We really do appreciate these guys efforts considering the distances involved.

In addition we also have a full turn out from the NMKG members together with several new faces including Narcis who is coming over from Barcelona. So you can see the stage is set for a great meeting.

If you intend on coming, and haven't already done so on FB, then please shout up to give us some idea for catering purposes. You also need to get the site booked ASAP. The weekend we anticipate will unfold as follows.

This is an informal meeting of like minded kite junkies. It starts around mid day on the Friday when everyone arrives and gets set up.
Friday afternoon.......Flying
Friday evening......Communal BBQ (Please bring along some things to throw on) followed by more flying, then chilling, drinking and making merry.
Saturday morning. Bacon and sausage butties followed by flying on the beach. Possibly doing some VF filming and some fun freestyle comps.
Saturday lunch..Butties or café (your choice) followed by more flying.
Saturday evening.. Steves now traditional "Curryfest" If you shout up as attending the event he will automatically include you on the guest list. If you are coming and DONT want a curry then let Steve know asap. This curry is a freebie and is our gift to you for attending and supporting the event.
Saturday evening... More flying, chilling and making merry.
Sunday morning..Breakfast in the café followed by flying and event closure.

So there you have it. We are looking forward to a great meeting. Come and join us even if you just call in for one day.

NMKG :D :D :D
