Corrections follow.... 1994 November ?? Victorian Stunt Kite Titles Lake Tyers/Lakes Entrance Victoria AUSTRALIA 1995 November Victorian Stunt Kite Titles Lakes Entrance Victoria AUSTRALIA . In the intervening week, a week-long (obviously) kite festival will be held . 1995 November (Exactly 1 week Later) World Cup (Stunt Kites) Lakes Entrance Victoria AUSTRALIA I don't have the precise dates to hand, but if anyone is really in need of them, I will hunt them up. Oh, there is supposedly going to be a Pro-Am competition (whatever that is) in Warnambool, in October 1994 - supposedly with prize money, but the drongo organising it has been known to sprinkle the odd load of fertiliser while speaking....

Corrections follow.... OK, Gary; this is your big chance. Can you give us a report of the championship event at Newcastle? I was only able to attend on the Saturday so I missed a lot. However, I heard a rumor that you won something. True? Allan allanc@syacus.acus.oz.au = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
