			  Announcing the 
		Bay Area Sport Kite League (BASKL) 
		    starting March 18th, 1995
		----------------------------------

The Bay Area Sport Kite League is dedicated to providing competitive
sport kite events in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.  Starting in
March, BASKL will hold one event each month (from March) through 
September.  The overall purpose of BASKL is to provide an ongoing
opportunity for competition.  These events will be low budget and
low cost (to the competitor) events.  There will be no preregistration
for the first event.

The 1995 schedule is:
	March 18	Baylands Park			Sunnyvale
	*April 29	Plasencia Athletic Field	Tracy
	May 13		Chavez - North Water Front Park	Berkeley
	June 17		Sport Field Park		Newark
	*July 29-30	Chavez - North Water Front Park	Berkeley
	August 19	Shoreline Park			Mountain View
	*September 2	Ocean Beach			San Francisco

Events with *'s are pre-existing events.  BASKL is organizing these 
events in coordination with the original event organizer.  April 29th
is the NCKC (Northern California Kite Club) Tracy fun fly.  July 29th
and 30th is the Berkeley Kite Festival and California Kite Championships
put on by Highline Kites of Berkeley.  September 2nd is the Golden Gate
Challenge put on by NCKC and Craig Wong.  Entry fees for Berkeley and
Golden Gate Challenge will be as they have been in the past (i.e. they 
will cost more than the other BASKL events).

Awards will be present at a "fun and games" fly (no formal competition) on  
	September 16	Chavez - North Water Front Park	Berkeley

The idea behind BASKL is fliers putting on events for fliers.  It is our
hope that we can create an AYSO or Little League for kiting.  When a 
flier participates at a BASKL event they *will* be expected to do some
volunteer work at the event.  When they register, a *job* will be drawn
>From a "hat" for them.  As the years progress, we hope to see different
people take on the organizational challenges of BASKL.

Congratulations, guys.  As an ELF, I think that the Eastern League works
great.  It gets the information out to a large group of serious
competitors, has worked towards uniform judging standards and is a great
group of people.  Hope the BASKL works out as well for you guys in the
land of shakey grounds.
