We were lucky to have a nice sunny day, but unfortunately we didn't have the wind that we had last year.
Thanks to everyone for working so hard to get kites up into the air with the little or no wind that we had at 3.00pm.
Considering the low wind conditions we still produced an excellent result.
Many thanks to all who came to OSOW this year.

What a fantastic turn out by members of the Suffolk Kite Flyers, Thorpe Kite Flyers and the fighter kites! After all the rain and high winds on Thursday and Friday we were blessed with perfect conditions on Sunday. This year we beat the record the highest number of kites!
Well done and thanks to you all for helping to achieve this great result.

Sunday 9th October 2005
It was a lovely sunny day and very mild for the time of year.We were joined again this year by our guests the Thorpe Kite Club and, for the first time by members from the fighter kite competition, arranged by Lynne and Graham Jackson.When we had arrived at 10.00am there was very little wind but as the day went on, it picked up and at times we had a reasonable but light south westerly wind.
Unfortunately John Arnott was correct in his prediction that just before 3.00pm the wind would drop just as we were all trying to do the count. However, there was just enough wind to keep most of the kites in the sky and with valiant running around by all the club members we managed 296 kites.
Although we didn't managed to beat last years total, it was still an excellent attempt considering that we had a third less flyers and we were only 13 kites short!
Records aside it was a fun day and it was great to think that we were doing our bit for the One Sky One World message of World Peace.
Result: 296 Kites. 91 Flyers. Other results -
Sunday 10th October 2004
In a cold and blustery wind (25 to 30 mph) the Suffolk Kite Flyers with our guests Thorpe Kite Flyers managed the following totals for OSOW on the at Rougham Airfield in Suffolk:
142 flyers 307 kites
Although the number of flyers was up on last year, the total number of kites was less. This we believe was due to the very high winds and that many single line kites were unable to withstand the strong wind. However it was still a good count and thanks to everyone that attended. A special mention and a well done to Matt Mitchell who couldn't attend the event due to family commitments, but flew 2 kites near his home at 3 pm.
Great fun was had by all.
Result: 307 Kites. 142 Flyers. Other results -
