Hi there, Does anybody know of kite shops in the North-West of England? The nearest (to Liverpool) I've heard of is in Leeds... Does anybody know anwhere nearer? I'm looking in particular for somewhere that stocks flexi's. Thanks in advance, Mark Oakden. P.S. thanx to those who helped with my "Which size of flexi?" question... after reading the replies, I've decided to go for a six foot (or possibly two) and build up a stack over time. -- oakden@dice2.desy.de -- I'm not politically incorrect, I'm just differently articulate. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Tue, 21 Mar 1995 02:00:00 -1000 From: WTVGR@cf.ac.uk (Gareth Richards) Message-Id: <9A3A6724F93@wtv1.uwcm.ac.uk> Organization: Tenovus/UWCM Cardiff Subject: Re: Kite Shops in North(-West) of England? ->Hi there, -> ->Does anybody know of kite shops in the North-West of England?
