Can you fill out the form online or is it a "print-out and post" jobbie?

Wouldn't mind trying to get over there to get some tips from some experts for the board.

Yeah mate bit cack that aint it , Just feel i must go now , Twice this fella has asked us now , Oh & the offer of not flying without the membership feel i must at least oblidge .

Sure that it will be the first of many visits , With the size of the field it will be nice to buggy & buggy , Rather that Buggy & Turn Buggy & Turn

Insurance
Tiny, if you and the other guys want to pop over this weekend, as you have sent off your insurance and they are supposed to get it back to you within 2 weeks, you should all be coverd, by now...

The reason we insist on it is if things go **** up, you are coverd, as it's private land.. and it's worth it for £15 a year...

So if you have not got your card by the weekend, still come over, and we will jut have to keep an eye out for any public wandering on to the field..

I think I will come over to Barleylands anyway, even with no insurance (so no flying) I think watching some of the boarders in action will be well worth it to get some hints and tips even without be able to fly!

I will then be able to go away and try some stuff elsewhere! ....somewhere quiet......somewhere wide open.......somewhere with plenty of access for an air ambulance!

Nice one Fozzie

Well pleased you got a board i know you been looking for a bit

Great stuff

Tell you what mate if you have half the fun that i have had with the kites & the buggies in the last couple of months you are in for a great time , Just be patient mate , Reading up on these things it is rather a steep learning curve & alot of people say bo$$ocks to it & get in a buggy , Stick with it im sure that you will have fun .

I Really feel that some sort of elbow , Knee pads will not go a miss as well as the compulsory helmet

For me the weekends really cannot come quick enough @ the moment , It's just great to get out with the kite & av it , Best remidee for a bit of stress from the daily grind

Best of luck buddy
