All is quiet in the Kent countryside at the mobile headquarters of team ELF

For much of the time there was no wind, and so "someone" entertained the little ones whilst earning over £45 for the scouts' trip abroad.


Some were poised for action should the wind pick up, others not so....

Then the wind picked up, and then the wind dropped off, so it's time to apply Article 4 Section 4b of the club constitution.

Usually, if you have to "Charlie Brown" a kite, it's time to go home, and there's no denying the webmaster had yo-yo-ed a firebee the length of the field twice trying to get it up. But what's the point of having a great big one (KITE !!!) and not scaring the normal people with it ?

Or so asked our friend who has "authoritah" in Brighton. He got "Teddy" out.
"Just hold the vents open" we said to our new pal pictured here. He'd seen this rubbish on the Internet too, and said hello to us. As we at Team ELF are great believers in trying out as many kites as possible, we thought he might like to lend a hand.
"And just grab the lines and run like a fast thing."

If you were there, the Webmaster was the fat one with the stupid hat shouting instructions before the run & clutching his chest after the run.

If you weren't, he's indicated by the arrow.

But after twenty yards, Teddy dropped like a brick.

A bit like our Webmaster, really.
