Thanks, Philip, for this information. What also makes me think it is old, apart from the enamel and the rust, is the raised "oh" in "No." which looks to be an old style of presentation.

Northumberland (well Tynedale) still have a few lying around. They look rather good in places.

A few images from an evening in Parkgate...

Is the horizon level on the last image? I seem to be getting off straight images at the moment!

Nice photos of Parkgate which bring back memories of my visits there. Thanks, Rob. :handclap:

Kebabman well done mate, smashing kites, yours looked great.:handclap:

Surreal and great fun. Is the 2nd photograph a picture of your kite?

There were loads of people kite flying on the beach in Talacre a couple of weeks ago, maybe they were practising for this festival.

Yes,it is.....Bamboo sticks from B&Q....Body cover nylon plactic from burger box packaging,blue plactic from beefburger packaging,tails from black binbag.:)

I have noticed festival last minute when I was reading local newspaper at shop,then decided to build a kite myself very quickly...

Building a kite and flying was a big part of my childhood days.....
About 12 years ago,my son was only 4 years old then I built a kite for him as well .But when he grew up he has preffered to play guitar and make PUNK music which I don't know anything about:D
