coming along to New Brighton Beach to fly their kites. Click

Brasington, a kitemaker from Tasmania, was at New Brighton
this year with his gorgeous kites. Several people have asked
if these kites are available to purchase, so Robert has sent
some over. Check
them out here. |

| On
Sunday 8th August from 1 - 3 pm we will be having a
kite day at the Air
Force Museum at Wigram on their 40 hectare field. The
Museum, with its shop and café, will be open as usual
on the day. There is a limit to the number of vehicles allowed
on the kite field. If you have large kites that need to be
tethered to a vehicle, please phone me during the week before
the kite day to arrange getting your vehicle in. Otherwise,
park in the Museum car park and enter through the Museum.
Please put a gold coin donation to the Museum in the bucket
at the door going out to the flying field. So come along,
bring your kites and enjoy the spectacle. If its really cold,
the café is a great place to sit and watch the Blokarts
and kites from behind the comfort of the double glazing! |
