This is my attempt this morning to produce a poster to promote the Sheffield 'trick kite fly in'. Must admit I'm quite pleased - what do you all think (oh yeah, it exclusively features my beloved Sano SS)

P.S. Why didn't my attempt at a direct picture post work, do you think :? ?

Will be there by 4pm ....

About 30 of us met at Pontefract Racecourse yesterday - how does that sound as a venue for folks round your way. Maybe if we worked together we could build it up as a regular site on a reglar day?

Took about 50 mins to get there from Manchester

Top man Neil :D

I'm sorry to say that I don't know where Pontefract is - will have a look on multimap - the idea of meeting on a regular basis sounds first class though.

P.S. PM sent

Pontefract Racecourse - seems a pretty good venue. Half a mile from J32 of the M62: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi? ... 000&icon=x

Ponty sounds like a plan! I've been there a couple of times (power kiting).

Neil:
Look forward to seeing you again on Saturday.

Are you still talking about Sheffield, or has it moved to Pontefract?

I'm an outside chance for Sheffield this Saturday but probably not for Pontefract.

Shouldn't be too difficult - after all, we've managed it with soccer and cricket.
