This years Royston Kite Festival was held on the 1st of August at the Therfield Heath, Royston

The Royston Power Kiters had a Stall this year to help promote Safe Kiting in and around the Royston area.

We Raffled a number of prizes donated by very kind Kites shops and Manufacturers in order to raise money for the NSPCC. The prizes Included a Flexdeck from Flexifoil and a number of Kites, safety gear, books and DVD's.

The Organisers also held a grand prize draw of which the main prize was a Weekend in Paris for two...

The event once again suffered from an excessive amount of Sun and a virtual lack of wind although all but one of the displays did go ahead. There was a few very large inflatable single line kites flying well outside the arena, whilst in the arena there were various display teams from around the country including Team Adrenalize showing everyone there Board and Buggy skills and a very good display of Indian Fighting kite techniques...

The only other thing to mar the event would have to be the plague of wasps that were attracted to the litter bins, fizzy drinks and Uncle's (Mark's) lips.......

All in all everyone of the 5 to 6 thousand people that were believed to have attended the event seemed to have a good time. Lets hope the Festival continues for many years to come.
