Subject: Kite shops in an around Oxfordshire/Berkshire


I did try to restrict this post to the UK, but it didnt work!

Can anyone recommend a good shop, or shops around the oxfordshire/berkshire
area. The shop I have found only stocks Brookites.

They have a sparless aerofoil type kite size 6ft, can't remember what it
was called (but is made by Brookites) which I like the look of, but it is
75 ukpounds. Which seems like a lot of money to me! Any comments on this
kite, and or the price of it?

Thanks for any response to this rather vague query!

Chris

Well, I'd recommend Richard Marsh's shop in Reading :

        Tradewind Kites
        6 Harris Arcade
        Friar St.,
        Reading
        Berks,
        RG1 1DN

        0734 568848

I'd had many an occasion to appreciate Richards knowledge and general
friendliness. He's a competitive flyer/buggier himself, which always helps !

I have details of three places in Oxfordshire :

        Dunford Kites, Cochranes, Fairspear House, Leafield, Oxford

        Orbit Kites - as above

        Science Studios, 18 Hanborough Park, Long Hanborough, Oxford

The science shop in Little Clarendon St. in Oxford always used to sell kites,
dunno if it still does ( or even if the shop's still there :).
