The Kite Day event is a collaboration with Avon Kite Flyers club who aim to promote the enjoyment of kite flying and provide a friendly focus for kite flyers of all ages, abilities, and depths of interest. Throughout the day the club will be putting on a professional display of kite flying, filling the air with colourful kites of all shapes and sizes. With some more traditional kites soaring the skies the club’s novelty kites provide a good humoured attraction with a diverse selection in their stock the kite club could be flying anything from a giant pair of footballers legs to ‘Gertie’ the 30m pink gecko, or even a 60m mega whale called ‘Roly’. The whale took over six months to make and holds and incredible 120 cubic metres of air, so it only comes out when the wind is just right and needs careful controlling by the club members.
