This will involve maps with only the control circles and connecting lines left on them. All other detail will have been removed. The challenge will be to stay on the right bearing and pace out the correct distance to find a small kite that will not be very visible from a distance.

Junior Training 2016 ( A Call to Coaches)
The Junior Training Programme for 2016 has been set. Make sure to get the dates in your diaries. Please note that due to personal circumstances I am unable to commit as much time as before to junior training this year. Therefore these events are subject to the volunteering of just some of the many coaches we have in the club to help put them on. If you are a coach let me know when you can help please.
