Note Note Note: July 7 is much earlier in the month than usual!

There will be 10 flying sessions this year. From the Association of Indoor Modelers website:

Hello indoor flyers,

We have the dates for the rest of 2017.   All dates and times are listed on the calendar.

The suggested donation is $100. Last year some opted to pay only $10/night and you can still do that if you need. Please consider paying the entire amount so we can afford to keep flying at this wonderful facility. As usual, if you fly RC, you will need to be a current AMA member to complete your AIM membership. You can start the process now by visiting the AIM Membership Request page: http://www.emf.club/?page_id=4493 or by bringing your AMA membership card and a check, or cash, to the next flying session. Kite flyers do not need AMA. You are strongly encouraged to pay by using our PayPal form at: http://www.emf.club/?page_id=4493. The form will let you pay using your PayPal account or your credit card.

Saturday, May 13, Dusty Rhodes Park, 1000 – 1600 , Map If You Need It

Turns out this is on kite club day again this year, standby for alternate plans for the meeting

This the 69th edition (I think) of the OB Kite Festival and is billed as the oldest continuous kids festival in the nation. SDKC and the Kiwanis have been working together again for the last couple of years after a lay off of several years.

Come on out and show off your stuff, do some kite wrangling for the ‘civilians’ and help support kiting in San Diego in general.

Recommend you get there early, parking is tight!

Event reports from recent years:
OB Fest 2015
OB Fest 2014

Friday, May 19,  1000 – 1130, Map If You Need It   Note Time Change Since Original Post
South Clairemont Rec Field
3600 Clairemont Drive, 92117

This is a short event in support of the San Diego School Districts Visually Impaired Field Day. We are just a small (but important) part of the scheduled events. This event starts early (historically not much wind) and is over by lunch (still not much wind usually). Bring some light wind stuff and stuff you don’t mind kids messing about with.

We usually do lunch afterward.

Yet another event for you to get out and support kiting in general and SDKC in particular. There are a few people who support this event each year but new faces are always welcome, especially you lucky retired kite flyers!

As always President Dave is the point of contact so let him know if you can help at this event at: president@sandiegokiteclub.com
