Don't know of any issues...

See you at the hanging tree in 8 hours!!!:roll:

see you soon

good thing ... mr. famous jensen was on the news, thats some good in the spotlight

I was out for the first time since October 2011 on March the 25th and for the 4 hours I was there, there didn't seem to be any problems that I was aware of.

Ken(K3)

serena was on MAT Leave last year so it could be pending issues on her return. I did speak to her temp but she didn't even know anything about what goes on at GP.

so we wait until the meeting and address it as it comes up.

keep you all well informed.

sounds like a hanging tree discussion. Or I have a few kegs I need to finish off... hummm

interesting. i want to hear how this plays out.
there has been countless times at my spot when i haven't even got a kite in the air and "they" appear from thin air to tell me to not do whatever I'm doing on " here".
i finally went to the City and told them (Parks manager person) i won't do anything anywhere i'm not wanted....as long as they provide me somewhere "sutiable" to kite.
the two of us actually drove around looking at sites and after several "no thank you, not suitable" i was given keys to a very decent sized plot of flat, grass field. the only prob was it's not maintained/(mowed) enough.
last year was too wet mixed with too many skeeters so i hardly went out but this year i plan on getting out more and i'm not going to any place that isn't to my suitable liking.

It would be helpful to know what kind of complaints have been coming through and from who in order to better prevent any issues that could compromise our privilege of flying at GP.

Changing the date to following week

Keep you posted

If you let me know the date an
d time, i would like to go too. talked with dirtslide and we thought it would be good to have richmond power kiters there...

I agree !

Not only are you 2 residents but D'sliddy has a fantastic way of getting folks on side. Pretty hard to tell a fellow in a wheelchair you are going to yank their #1 form of rehabilitation + entertainment to their face !

So are we good to fly as usual or are their some aspects of what we do at GP that we need to be extra sensitive about?

The city wants to deal with us as an organization.

NAPKA membership for all
Number plates displayed
Helmets
stay off paths
Stop riding if conditions are not safe (wind park too busy)

The usual stuff...

Ron

Will the city require an insurance certificate?

Morrie

We have not worked out all the details yet...

will let you all know when we do

Thanks for the details Ron.

being a member of NAPKA is a given for anyone in the sport. we are united as one

numbers, we will show the rules of EU and you only need to display one (non racing event)

helmets, check
