1 May 2008 - Potential BAN at Gwithian

The landowners at Gwithian are talking about introducing restrictions to all wind powered sports and horse riding on the beach from Godrevy to Peter’s Point, including rigging kites and windsurfers. This is in theory set for an introductory trial this year over a two month period 7th July to 7th September during the hours the lifeguards are on the beach. It would mean that if you Windsurf. Kitesurf. Kite Buggy, Kiteboard, Speedsail, Blokart, ride a horse or just want to fly a kite, you will not be able to.

UPDATE: the ban seems to have been squashed for now, and a zoning scheme will be introduced. Please use this link for more information.

UPDATE 2: This thing doesn't appear to be going away, see the website for the latest.

After an extensive consultation period we jumped on the first mug that happened along with some HTML knowledge and our new club website was born.

Many thanks to Steve (airpowered) for transferring the 'sdkc.co.uk' domain. Please report any issues, spelling mistakes, or just plain wrong information to the forum.
