2020 Update – Coronavirus Pandemic.
Note from Sarah Kay – NKG Secretary
Hello all,
As most of you will have already realised, the developing
Coronavirus pandemic and associated government advice, mean that there is no
option but to cancel imminent fly-ins and festivals as we all play our part in
social distancing.
And so I must let you know that all NKG fly-ins are
cancelled from now until at least 25th May 2020.
In addition, the organisers of Newbiggin Kite Festival have
confirmed the postponement of that event, and Bridlington Kite Festival have
confirmed the cancellation of that event.
The future of other events on NKG’s calendar will be subject
to an ongoing review.
I will let you know of any further developments as soon as I
can, and hope you will understand that festival organisers request us to make
our announcements after they have made their own official announcements.
Stay safe.
Sarah
