Saturday at Basingstoke was blustery and changeable; one minute cloudy with
showers, the next sunny and warm! The wind varied from almost non-existant at
one side of the arena, to strong and gusty at the other side. Nevertheless,
flyers from all over the UK and Europe came to fly and enjoy the friendly atmosphere
at Basingstoke. Amongst the invited flyers were Stephen
Versteegh & Otto Vossen from Holland, Pedro
& Esteban Gonzalez from Spain, Nick James of Bristol, Kevin Robson &
Kelvin Woods of North
East Kite Flyers, Collectif
Zoone from France, and The
Flying Squad.
The marquee was the venue in the evening for games of Pentanque (boules) and
lots of food & drink. Always a great social event!
