Kite Festival News Update

Hi everyone
It has been very hard to coordinate the fliers this year.

In the Arena this year will

The Flying Squad

Team Spectrum

Ex Grads

Stopsley Fliers powerkite team

Around the arena you will find the Aeolian Wind Gallery all the way from the Netherlands

A plethora of international Single Line Kite Displays from our International guests.

Saturday will once again be an informal flying day with no fixed timetable but we will have displays in the arena throughout the day. 

Sunday will run to a timetable that is subject to change due to the wind conditions

We will also have orange rolling for the first time ever on the Dunstable Downs!

Another attraction we hope to bring you is teddy bear parachuting again weather permitting.

Myself (Joe Brown) and my colleague (Stephen Hoath) along with The Volunteers and Staff at the Chilterns Gateway centre look forward to seeing you there. 

And please don't forget a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and to drink plenty of fluids in this heat.
