UP DATE*****

We have decided to postpone Redkite untill after Kitestock 2013. We are looking for a date in early March.

Unfortunatly there have been some issues with getting the required permissions and November/December is already crowded with other events. State WAVE comp, the Course Racing series and Light House to Leighton.

The good news is we have something to look forward to later in the season and it gives more chance to raise money for this great cause. Check with your employer some companies will match what ever you raise.

If any one wants to help in organising this event or help out on the event please email [email protected]

Damn, that's a big postpone, I understand that it must have been a big decision to make, but still going by the reasons given, you must have known for a while that you'd be postponing this event

And it also makes me wonder why it was given the go at such a late stage then.

What would you advise I tell everyone I've emailed and FB'd for support now?

A more solid date for the reschedule would be nice so I don't sound like a d*ck telling everyone 'sometime in March'.
Should I cancel my fundraising page and reactivate it when the official date has been set?


As for help being needed;
My advise to you would be to, instead of putting out a general call for help, post up what help you actually need, you may get a better response.
And asking for the help much earlier would have helped too.

Yeah really.
I said it, but made some mistakes in my haste, which I admitted here...

Wanting to do the event for a couple of years, then finding out it'd been cancelled 5min after I'd registered and FB'd and emailed everyone I know, well I was a little disappointed.

Couldn't have been that much of a bummer for you, you hadn't registered on the charity page.

I'm actually very curious as to why there wasn't a big response for the event this year?

What's up all you WA guys?

If you feel so strongly about it, why don't you join one of their committees?

It might give you the opportunity to provide imput as opposed to complaint.

I don't know...
