St. Andrews Kite Festival 2009
Once again the St. Andrews Kite Festival exceeded previous attendence numbers. The homecoming year festival was forcast with smooth 18mph North Easterlies right up until the night before, however Sunday dawned and although mostly dry as forcast the wind was substantially stronger than anticipated, some flying, buggying and boarding took place in the arena, however the wind was just too strong to put on any form of real show for the spectators.
SPKA Race Series 2009/10
Last Race - 24th of January 2010 - West Sands, St. Andrews, Fife
Next Race - 21st of February 2010 - West Sands, St. Andrews, Fife
NEW! |
The 2009/10 series is currently underway, and everyone is invited along. An introductory race will be held on all race days for free (The only requirement being valid insurance). So if your interested let someone know at registration. If you get on well enough and are interested you can take the theory side of the pilots licence there and then and compete in the rest of the weekends races. We recommend you take a look at the SPKA Buggy Licencing Page for more information. At the SPKA we're always trying out new ideas, so this year there will also be an award after each race day for the highest placed pilot on 16" wheels (standard barrows or 16" wides) as we recognise that there is a greater challenge to getting round courses on smaller wheels. This year there will also be a prize for the best newcomer at the end of the season - free entry into the 2010-2011 series. Open to anyone who competes in their first series race(s) this year. |
