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.
