By Car - A23 Streatham High Road - parking by the café at the top of the hill.
(If you park on Streatham Common South don't put your wheels on the grass - you'll get clamped and/or towed.)

This dropped into the old virtual letter box the other day. Another newsletter from the BKFA covering some interesting ground, particularly in relation to the new requirements for people coming into contact with children or vulnerable people.

Some of you will be aware that we regularly get new members register on the site whose sole purpose is to use the site as a link to their own sites of rather dubious nature - and certainly not kite related.

Despite repeated attempts to block such new users, none have been successful so far, so I've implemented another level of security, which requires new registrations to be approved before they are allowed access to the site.

Apologies to the genuine kite flyers who may be inconvenienced by this change, I'm sure you understand.

As many of you know, Peter Reeves, a long standing member of SEKS and KKF was hospitalised after becoming seriously ill. It resulted in major surgery in which his colon was removed.

I have been in contact with Beverley his daughter, who informs me that he left hospital this Tuesday 30th June, and has been given the all clear. Just needs a few weeks rest

I have passed on the good wishes of KKF members.

Those of you who idle away your time looking at the club calendar will have noticed that Hardelot Kite Festival is in September this year. It is on 26th/27th September, the same dates as Wattlehurst Steam rally.
