Southampton Kite Festival CANCELLED

Mon Feb 21, 2011 11:37 am

Hi all

As the subject header says, the organisers of the Southampton Kite Festival (June 18 & 19) are planning to include a David Davies / Skydancer tribute in the program for the main arena, and have asked me to gauge interest.

So .... if you would be interested in joining in and flying your Skydancer, please contact me: arkraa@soton.ac.uk. Details are to be decided on later, once we know what kind of interest we can expect. The first step is simply to get a list of names.

Please feel free to spread the word, with my e-mail address as the central point of contact for this.

Just a reminder for those who have a Skydancer (or other David Davies kite) and want to join in a tribute fly.

I've just been informed that the Southampton Kite Festival has been CANCELLED, due to a lack of resources.
