I'm sure the rev arena will be well used.

There may be a couple more from the North East. It would be nice for people to post to give an idea of numbers.

We will have 4 (maybe 6).

count me in

Not long now. Who is coming to Portsmouth? Baz, Daz did you get sorted with camping passes? Will we have the rev arena. I would love to do some grid flying as we don't get much opportunity up North.

Yes Vince got my pass,all set to go

I plan on being there subject to getting a camping pass !

Hi Ben,

Thank you!

I think that we will need to see an enthusiastic response from European fliers before taking this forwards.

Best wishes

Felix

Hi Felix
As a keen amateur rev flier I am looking forward to Portsmouth (for me its the festival to look forward to in the UK)
also the rev arena (properly cordoned off this year) and "putting on a show for the public" as we did last year
BUT
To camp for free on the common,and this is a major benefit to fliers in cost savings,may be a problem for many kite fliers now,as stated in the kite society magazine
You have to submit your resume to the kite society stating what you will contribute to the festival
Then wait to be approved for a camping pass
I am afraid that with the rising costs associated with travelling to festivals - especially the distance to Portsmouth
AND having to pay for accomodation if refused a camping pass would make it a no go event for some
I personally would have to consider the costs involved,as I'm sure would many others
I hope that the people who want to fly at Portsmouth AND CAMP will be able to do so.
If not then dedicated UK fliers may stay away
Lets hope this is not the case as this would be bad for the festival
