I'll just dream on .......
And while I do, Bateman, why don't you think about this.
I am sure the IPKA would be happy to embrace new ideas and help anyone interested in kite sports of any kind within Ireland. Why not contact them directly and see what you can do.
1- If everyone had your attitude there would be no IPKA. (Don’t attend and get no say in the future of kite sports in Ireland)
2- If more landboarders joined the IPKA maybe they would have reason to organise events for them.
3- Landboard events were mentioned at several IPKA meetings but it was agreed that more landboarding members were required to make it worth while.
On a lighter note.
I personally am organising several kite weekends (non competitive) for 2006 in Ireland, England, Scotland & France. Arrangements are already in place for some of them and some are still being planned. One trip for 2007 is also being discussed at the moment. If you want to get involved just let me know.
P.S. these weekends are not limited to IPKA members and we would be happy to see any new faces.......
