Just cleared it.

Colin, you need to start buying some wave boards and Ozone Reos', try them, don't like them then sell them to me. ; ) or me.....

a possible danger to other water users/wildlife, plus they would get calls from shiiping about a kite and no rider, so could be called out again needlessly.

Yep its a terrible place to kite, pretty much two basic rules (ok there are a few others re rigging zone) but essentially get a (free)permit to show you are insured and dont go north of the flag. If kiters were all over the winter bird zone in WK, or there were accidents at Blackrock how long do you think they would put up with that? Come on Colin! ......and dont worry, unless you've moved house you're not paying for the Rangers. Are you sure it wasnt the RNLI you saw down by the water?

right time of year it's a cracking spot. Great for kiting and sailing. Walking etc less than 20mins away.

It's July!

See you out there in April Andy

Andy-have talked about that for the last 10 years. There are issues re staffing(less Rangers in the Winter to manage the beach) and apparently ecology....

Oh dear, perhaps Pooly doesn't have magic powers afterall:eek:

Lee why side step answering the question? Why were you really banned last year, why do you think you might be this year? Very big of you getting Chris banned off Kite Kidz. Believe me I'm REALLY not concerned about you setting up a NW club, but if you think it will change anything on the beach save your time and effort and just go out an enjoy kiting for goodness sake.

Didn't state the reason cos there is no reason... I don't think so; and you KNOW so. What about last year? You just sailed by the flag and got a ban? I don't think so for that either. If that was the case there would be a big gang of banned kiters.

Pooly I am the old school crew. We have never been allowed as you suggest to sail up to Hesketh Drive. The fact that about 6 of us total kited anyway means that 9 years ago we weren't on the radar. The Irish sea is a big place you can go as far out as you want or hack upwind. Re quoting with naming what's the big deal? Simple enough question.Will allow you to read it in context. The point re the BBQ is that with out club funds there wouldn't have been one.Tom did a great job bringing the tent, prizzes etc but AOSKSC paid for the BBQ and the 'boxing ring'. Forshaw puts a lot of effort into these events. However most people there weren't club members. In the past Ken has pretty much given up the evenings to collect cash at the door for the parties(Layne did it last year too)that way club funds are used to under write the events not pay for them.

Why would you be getting a ban Lee, you missed that bit from the post?

Pooly who are you quoting? The first lot looks like you and is simply untrue, the other looks like BA
