The pools are clearing.....

We seem to have penetrated the darkness, I spoke to a really helpful lass who after 35 minutes heroically managed to get through to the customer champions but also managed to track down a progress update!! So full marks and much appreciation to her. A response has been drafted and should have been posted yesterday. With a bit of luck and the right wind I should have it this week. Really don't know what to expect but everything is crossed for a positive result. On a down note it, seems that yet another restriction has been placed on powerkiting, at West Wittering, I've placed a link to the SEKA forum where the statement is posted, in the side bar for kiting issues. There is also some further chat about this on other threads. Which increases the pressure even more on the success of campaigns like the this and others, to succeed. I'll post the RPA's response as soon as I get it. I hope the people dealing with it weren't the ones recommending we give up Fresh milk for UHT. Score on the Door has passed 900 thanks to all of you for keeping the faith. Only 97 more and we'll be passed a 1000 which will be 25% of our initial target. Keep signing, posting and talking :o)

Hmmm ......soapbox moment......have just been checking the forum's for progress and commentary, and seen that Camber Sands may be coming under threat of further restrictions. For further info read the SEKA thread on the side of the page.

At some point we have stand up and say HELLO we're here too. There are precious few suitable spots around this small country that are free for us to use for onereason or another. We all grumble and mutter about over crowding, each other and the bans. Why can't we (kiter's of all denominations) all come together to represent ourselves. Surely we would all pay a slightly increased fee to our choice of associations to fund cross sport representative negotiating team to support those in need, rather than relying on passionate committed local volunteers who have to start from scratch??? Better get off before I slip off!!

The Signature rate has slowed on the petition. But we have reached 329 signatures so we're in the top 500 most signed petitions. Its great but not good enough so I think it's time to broaden the net. Contact with Defra will be being made soon. From my experience they have always been extremley helpful. There are somethings though that may be more difficult......we'll see.
