The CCC Park Rangers have asked that each vehicle closes the swing gate after it passes through, and that the last one out closes it and locks up, in order to keep the vehicles of non-windsports users out. They say the kite launch area and car park is on private land, and that we're privileged to be there, so please let's give it a go to show them we care. Signage will be established to clarify this, and we're considering a self closing mechanism on the gate to make life as easy as possible. So please let's give it a go to show them we care.

Here's the plan in full: A core group of trusted CWA kiters know the padlock code and open up when kiting is on; the gate is closed as we pass through; the last one to leave closes and locks both the cable and the gate, for which you need the code - if you don't then get to know your fellow CWA kiters, or ask me. Otherwise it's left to security who arrive late at night, and in the meantime the vandals have a field day.  Thanks, John.
