Summer Hols must be here....
The summer hols must be here, not that I can tell from the weather, but things in general seem to be on a go slow. My follow up call to the RPA was enlightening rather than progressive this week. As always the people on the line are very helpful and pleasant, the people in the back office seem to be reluctant to support their front line colleagues. Isn't that always the way with call centres. But that's another campaign!!! I did find out that our request as we said last week is sat at Exeter which is where the Scheme's Management Unit is. So I guess we are slowly moving up the decision tree, awaiting to be allocated. I guess there will be more delays whilst they decide on the initial party line. It took them 4 months to let me know their current position so I guess a little over three is par for the course. Talking of moving up the ladder the petition continues to grow, but slowly as everyone is out kiting in sunnier clime's! I know I'll be off soon, wahoooooooo! Usually we jump at least one rung every day, but today was the first day of rest at position 279 and this despite a load of petitions ending. Currently there are 695 signatures on the door. We started off needing a daily signature rate of 10.4 to achieve our 4K target but this is starting to slip with us now requiring 11.2. Things will pick up hopefully as the Autumn winds blow in. Have a good week, and keep nagging people to make their mark. As always thanks to all those that have signed and contributed.

What a fabulous cause,I have to travel a minimum of an hour(on a good day) to get my kite out in a suitable,accessible environment! I also have four kids under 8 who love to kite, its a big deal getting a session in! This is a fantastic way of increasing knowledge and encouraging the infamous kiting community spirit. The fact that the sport has limited environmental impact and is for all ages and all types of users,with the ability to assist in the combatting of serious government issues such as obesity and the lack of affordable sports activities available, extra access to our rural/agricultural havens will only and can only be an asset to all concerned.
I'd also like to say well done for pressing forward with what seems to be a mammouth task and thank you for loving the sport and all the stakeholders enough to devote your time in this way.
We can all help... so to anyone else reading this, sign up, blog.. show your support for our sport!
