Calling the
Surrey & South East Crew
So im sitting
here at my desk trying to pass the time doing as little
as possible (nothing new there then) and been thinking
about kiting clubs.
Well there seems to be a distinct lack of clubs /
groups in my local area. I often bump into the same
people when im out flying and say hi ect, but I would
like something a bit more official.
If there was enough interest I would be up for organising
one. I have plenty of free time in the days (at my
company's expense lol) & I know a bit about about
computers / web sites ect so that wouldn't be a problem.
At the moment I haven't given it much more thought
than that. If there's no interest I wont bother but
if there is then I am up for it.
Vote in the poll & drop some ideas into the thread
if you have them.
I suppose the first idea has to be the name!
All the best

Definatly a good idea!
can we have a secret code book and a badge?
It'd be good to be able to contact people and arrange
to meet up for a fly - and a beer after! - can't think
of a name though

Should be fun... I come from Guildford
and fly with two other people but we tend to go down
to littlehampton to fly on the beach there. |

go for it Dude !!!
sounds good to me !!!
may give us some ammo to try and open up some sites
- say Epsom downs to allowing buggying / boarding
again if there is a club (mind you if you do get a
site don't you have to do the ol' risk assessments
, insurance , BBC association, and so on) !!!
don't know if you got a copy of the latest (well last)
power kite mag - they had an article on setting up
a club and so on , and mentioned such things in there
!!!

Kite Club in Surrey...
Not saying I'm
bored at work, but....
Quote:
| I
suppose the first idea has to be the name!

err...
Surrey Kite Club.
Surrey Kiters.
Surrey Sports, Power & Traction Kite and Board
& Buggy Enthusiasts Promotion Group.
Surrey Kiters Club.
Kite Surrey.
Surrey AirForce.
Surrey WindSports.
er.. does it have to have Surrey in it?
...I'm sure someone can improve on some of these!
If nothing else, how about a mailing list so that
when someone is going to the Downs or Richmond park
they send a group Email saying "I'm going to the Park
on Sunday 2:30 to 5:00" etc.
(I've got some reseller webspace so I dont mind hosting
a list for nothing if that's what people want..)
Or Start a Surrey Kite Thread in the events section
and get a list of posters to add to you PM listings.
Simon
