Kite making in Ford Park ?

Materials have been ordered so as to be able to make 250 sled kites.

Present thinking is:

Book the upstairs room at Ford Park to take care of possible rain.
Fly kites in the park. If we get hundreds made, string them along in one massive long line
Use Delta Kite/s to advertise that we're in action and any other "stunts"
Capture as many people who just happen to be passing

Make and decorate sled kites see this video for lots of ideas :http://youtu.be/Ou7SPnb7NSE

1. The sticks are ordered
2. The sellotape for fixing them is about to be ordered
3. Use plastic bags and scrap plastic preferably clear
4. Cardboard templates to be made
5. Means of decorating them is being checked - large permanent marker pens or oil paint.
6 Kite twine - I have enough - more welcome
7. We will need some sharp scissors to cut the plastic
8. Use coloured cellophane from Scrap Store for streamers - but it's closed for a fortnight  (damn) - I may have a bit.

If we want to make Delta Kites - this is best done here separately as they are far more complicated (The Delta made out of bright coloured material is nearing completion.

The big question is WHEN

Your feedback here is essential so that we can choose the best time for everyone.
