Sutton Coldfield Baptist Church Family Fun DAy 5th July 2009

Repeat of the last five years:

Come and fill the sky with colour. Who can help?

It is a brilliant site to fly.

Let me know if you can come.

When? Sunday 5th July 12:30 to 5pm

Where? Wheatmore Farm

Cost? £1.50 and can be purchased on the day

Two years ago 1500 people came in the sunshine to enjoy our family fun day. There were a few less last year with storms circling, but still a great afternoon. This year, many of the elements that made it such a fantastic day will be the same as well as some added extras: Rodeo Bull, Pirate Ship, Gladiator Duel Bouncy Castles x 2, Velcro Wall, Bungee Run Eliminator, Penalty Shoot Out, Donkey Rides, Tuck Tent, Tug of War, Face Painting, Rounders, 3-Legged Races and much more!

March Fly In. 8th March 2009

A small hardy bunch turned out for the March meeting despite a very strong cold wind. the first couple of hours were beautiful before the squally showers set in.

Terry was flying his anniversary kites, which were a bit overpowered, but looked great.



I was testing out a new camera for KAP and manged to get a couple of poor shots of Terry's kites from the air:


Pete started by flying his Pilot from which his patchwork seal had its first lift:




Various other fliers joined in.

A few more photos are here

Thanks to all who came.

Are we still here?

Due to family matters, I haven't been able to make many events this winter. I hope others have been able to fly. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

I have managed to do quick bit of KAP in the snow though

See you on the field soon.

Edit:

Great day out. Thanks to Terry and Pete for coming and flying kites. Here is a KAP shot:

Last fly in for the summer 11th May.

Sunday 11th May will be the last fly in until September, with so many other festivals on, and the return of the cows. Don't forget there is a small admission charge for cars after 11.00a.m.

This doesn't mean there won't be any flying at other times. Certainly I will be in the park a few time a week if you want to contact me and link up (use MKF forum, or post here).

Enjoy your summer and see you on the 11th May or in the Autumn.
