Basingstoke - 5th & 6th June 2004

[Spook]

Anyone going? Any point in me going?

[Travel Monkey]

At last, the recognition it deserves........my hometown and Mecca of the south!!!! Ok, so it's no MW, but might be worth a look, if peeps wanna meet up, I might just nip over?!

[GaRRy]

Great festival but forget the buggies/boards there really is not the room.

[rasga]

Echo'ing GaRRy's point there is no room for buggy boards, and teh fact that they are technically banned at downgrange. Don't know if this weekend is an exception, but always something going on,

[Spook]

Well I'm quite up for going anyway, and I may have a couple of interested parties who'd like to tag along for the ride, quite interested in getting into kiting, can't imagine why!!!

A demo of some sort has been discussed, but unfortunately people coming to Basingstoke should not expect to be able to board/buggy - even if it wasn't an insurance issue ( and it is ), there isn't really enough room.

[rasga]

Yeah there really isnt much room, even when you were there when you could board with 3 people doing traction activities it would be busy!

Have fun, its a nice fest though.

[Spook]

So is there any point in going? Is there anything fun to see?

[rasga]

Well its like any normal kite festival!

Depends what you into, and now i have to run!

[>X<]

What time is it all open and ready for us to go down?

[JazZyB]

I should be there sunday with ground crew (nessy & sk8terboy). If i rememeber from last year, not much space to fly but we did manage to get a bit of boarding in later in the day when people had started leaving.

Probably end up at crabtree later in the day for a flying session.
