ONE SKY ONE WORLD  9th OCTOBER 2005, ASHTON COURT, BRISTOL

 

 

AKF will be joining in the global celebrations (and it is also our birthday!) by holding the October Fly-In at Ashton Court on the second Sunday of the month (9th), not the first Sunday (2nd) as usual.  

 

 

Proclamation

It is clear that life on the planet earth is at a crossroads. The choice to turn from the path of self-destruction from war, and environmental abuse; to love of self, others, and the world is before us. Increasing global awareness will lead to a widespread belief that anything other than peace and mutual concern is insensible, and will move us away from planetary cataclysm toward a better future. One Sky One World festivals will be held annually around the world to promote protection of the planet, peace, friendship and understanding between all people. Beyond this, One Sky One World does not endorse any ideology or political agenda.

 

Purpose

The purpose of One Sky One World, is simply to promote the concept of global harmony and understanding between all peoples of the world through an expression of the universality of kites and the wind. Through sharing the wind, our worldwide connection with other flyers and all of nature is symbolically realized. The great air ocean favours no dividing boundaries, ideologies, and human conflict. It is much more the prerequisite for our existence, a catalyst in the chemistry of life, supplying our every breath. The International Kite Fly is an attempt to let the wind lift our kites and our awareness so as to more fully understand the necessity for peace.

 

The fun starts at 1pm and will include both The Annual AKF Can Clobbering Competition and also other competitions, maybe a Rok fight if we can arrange one! This might be using ‘hairy’ string as they do in France or we might use the ‘American Shrinking Arena’ just to liven things up!

We also intend to run an ‘American Supper’ like previous years (as we do for the Christmas Party), so please bring along some food and drink to share.

 

Can anyone and everyone who has a Club Kite also please bring it along so we can fly them all! 

 

And please don’t forget to register when you arrive so we can send our details off to OSOW. They like to know how many people turned up and how many kites were flown.
