BURTON
PLEASE NOTE…………hand held kites only, no mecahnical winches, no PA system. These factors are governed by Health and Safety issues, and by site Byelaws put in place by Warwickshire County Council. This event is being arranged by Steven Neal, NOT by GOKF, but Steven extends his warmest invitation for you to come along and fly kites.
Steven Neal is arranging permission for a fly-in on 20th June , not the 13th as previously arranged, at Burton Dassett Hills Country Park for all GOKF members to attend. He is now also offering another fly-in date at the Hills on 18th July
Steven’s idea is to have an informal fly-in at the site, perhaps an altitude sprint or two, and for those of you who are inclined to think big, to fly kites up to a 2,500 ft ceiling! Yes, there are loos at the place and apparently you can take a BBQ. Burton Dassett Country Park does have a web site…easy to find by a "search".
The site is off the B4100 and about halfway between Warwick and Banbury. It does show on road maps, but if you want directions just ask Pete West……he knows some devious ways a driving there! So, if you don’t fancy Ferry Meadows that day…..go to Burton Dassett, but be prepared to leave a little more time for travelling.
For further information you can contact Steven on 01926 497551 but you may not wish to "expose" your telephone number and prefer to come through me (Pete West). He has also invited you to look at his website www.countrysidekitefliers.com which is mainly photos and Blog pages.
