The 18th annual international kite festival on Southsea Common, Portsmouth on the weekend of the 29th 31st August this year has some very interesting new and returning international guests and their kites that I am looking forward to seeing. UK guest flyers and kites are taken for granted by us as we see them regularly....but don't forget they are world class too!
Portsmouth also draws in kite flyers of the ordinary kind (like me) from all over the Country and its usually the only event I ever get to meet them these days, as I don't venture North of Londinium much. Bristol used to be the other 'International' event that drew the 'ordinary' kite flyer from all over the country but for me and many others it has nothing to offer in the way of suitable camping arrangements and being a commercial venture, priced itself out of my budget to attend. Shame.
Who's going to Portsmouth?
Dick....there IS the usual DOG show on the Monday, will you be entering YOUR new Puppy?
Original posting of this event also in the 'Members area'....but non members cant access it, hence this post where everyone can see what we get up to!
