Subject: Kite Shops in North(-West) of England?
Hi there,
Does anybody know of kite shops in the North-West of England? The
nearest (to Liverpool) I've heard of is in Leeds... Does anybody know
anwhere nearer? I'm looking in particular for somewhere that stocks
flexi's.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Oakden.
P.S. thanx to those who helped with my "Which size of flexi?"
question... after reading the replies, I've decided to go for a six
foot (or possibly two) and build up a stack over time.

Phil Womack is Secretary of The West Coast Kite Club and they are based
around Lytham St Annes. Tel: 01253 300316
On Sunday 26 March Phil's lot and members of The Midlands Kite Fliers
are holding a fly-in on the beach at Lytham, near to St Annes pier.
Please feel free to join us. The weather forecast looks pretty favourable,
and the beach is more that big enough for flexi flying and buggying.

I'd like to step forward and welcome Martin and Tim to rec.kites.
Fizz produce some of the *nicest* stunters to be available in the UK.
Now Martin... What about the Wasp? When are we going to see the Fizz
wasp on sale? I *know* that it'll work out at a lot of price per
square foot of sail, but some of us know that it's worth it...
Also: When you follow the pointer in my signature, you'll stumble across
the Review FAQ... you might care to help fill in the gaps in your product
line, with at least technical details, if not and unbiased review...
Andrew
