Hi All We are still trying to work out the entry fees . We are trying to include a meal on the Saturday night, plus a few other goodies as part of the entry. We want to keep it under $50 pp for the whole weekends events including a meal Sat night and sausage sizzle during the day. Around $30 will go straight to RED KITE.
We welcome anyone who is willing to donate Items to auction on the Saturday night for proceeds to go to the Red kite organization.
Please feel free to Call if you want to get involved.
We are also looking for crew who own HD video cams, who are willing to point the lens around on the day. We have locked in a couple of camera crew , but would love to get many more angles to send to the Editor for Foxtels Kite life show on Fuel TV
This should be a great family day as well so be sure to bring your own fan club.
Keep your Eyes out for Registration details .. they will be available soon ..
Thanks for the support

Nice idea Choicey, count me in, hopefully there will be huge support 200 starters would produce $6000 for a great cause.
Imagine 1000 kiters? Thats easy, just visit Woodies.
For those who care copied from the Red Kite website
Every dollar makes a difference
Redkite receives no government funding, and relies 100% on the community to fund essential support for children with cancer and their families. Please help us maintain these vital services to ensure that all Australians receive the equality of care they need at this traumatic time in their young lives.
What a terrific idea should be a hoot and proceeds to red kite even better count me in choicey 
Choicey is it possible major donors can receive a tax deduction? if so this could shake out some serious support.
Choicey Im a definite starter, am happy to assist with the registration process, all for a good cause.
Hey Choicey,
I'm happy to donate a prize or two. You can contact me on:info@kiteboardingschool.com.au
