Yippiee Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hello Everyone - Here's the Deal - I'm new to kiting community It is extremely hard for someone new or the general Public to find out about Kiting Events. (unless you know what you are looking for or where to look) I did a search on Yahoo for "Kiting Events in WA Sept. 2008" - Click here for the results - Yahoo Search Results I am totally amazed that information about upcoming events, competitions, and festivals about kiting are so hard to find. I did not know what AKA, KTAI, WSIKF, or all the others were without hours of research. I think there should be ONE page (calendar style) dedicated to nothing but Upcoming Kiting Events (just the date, location and a link) on the INTERNET that everyone can easily find and access. (it should be linked on every home page not just in the forums) It should probably be the #1 topic for everyone in the industry and fliers as well. (hint, hint Kite Industry People - KTAI, AKA, etc.,etc.,etc.) *****More Spectators = More Fliers = More $$$ = More Events = More Fun ***** PLEASE POST - UPCOMING EVENTS, COMPETITIONS, and FESTIVALS on the Calendars provided so everyone can find them in one spot. John Q. Public just won't read a bunch of separate forums and look up tons of acronyms when looking for something to do with his family next Sunday. I will help make this happen in any way I can - Thanks for reading - Mike (One World One Sky - One Event Calendar) tee-hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is up to the organizers of events to get that information posted. http://www.aka.kite.org/cal.php?year=2008&...t_day_of_week=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yippiee Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Update - I have tried to post some events to the calendar - It didn't work for me I think only moderators have access to post to it. I have contacted them - Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
