Once again, Flexifoil stamped there name well and truly on the Kiting Calendar by putting their name on Europe's largest Kiting festival which was held at Middle Wallop Army Airfield in Hampshire.

This year was organised much the same as last year with the major except being that the Beer tent and food stalls were in the grass area next to the Museum car park along with an area just for Kiters who had dogs with them.

As far as I'm aware there were no major injuries again this year although it was reported that the local hospital had a long line of people wearing the Orange and Green wristbands that had been issued to all traction Kiters on the Sunday Evening.. lol

Unfortunately quite a few of these Kiters missed the Film show that Trebor put on with the help of Flexifoil, an AV company and Video camera importer. This year, loads of Kite clubs/groups/individuals entered films which were shown to the waiting crowd on a 30 foot tall inflatable screen. These were then judged and the winners "Team Couch Posse" were awarded a remote bullet camera for the second year in a row. Uncle and Sparkie were both a little upset that they didn't win, but when you consider that the winners built and used a traction COUCH in their movie, they both had to admit defeat. Roll on next years battle.......

The RPK who seem to have a very good relationship with both Flexifoil and the BBC (soon to be BPKA) helped out as Marshals on the field throughout the weekend and more importantly in the car park and entrance and registration line, as this gave a few others of us the opportunity to set the tents up in a camp again...

Only 12 of the RPK made it to FW2 this year with Jezz and Timmer being noticeable absentees again... This year however was Sparkie, Jetset and family from the Cambridge Kiters first visit and they were camped along side our old friends Diggy and Morb. The Milton Keynes crew also set up near us but our good friends from the Herts Flyers decided to setup up some distance away, which when you see their photos was a good idea all round.. lol.
