Friends of Red Kites in the North East of England.
This new Group has been formed, to continue the work begun by the Northern Kites Project, which ends this month.
The Project has left an important legacy and many volunteers felt that the guardianship of the kites should not be abandoned.
We marked the birth of the Group FoRK with a Rolling Launch on Friday 10th July. Go-Northeast gave us a Kite Bus for five hours, and we went first to the Lintzford Garden Centre and then to Gibside where we were given special permission to park the Bus in the car park.
Altogether, we spoke to about 160 people, some of whom elected to become members. It costs £6 for an individual and £8 for a household, regardless of number.
The Membership Secretary is Judy Summerson, 12 Sunnidale, Fellside Park, Whickham, NE16 5TT. We need the talents, energy and interest of those who hold dear the ever-growing kite population. We lost them once before; let's make sure that they survive for the enjoyment and enrichment of the lives of future generations.
Tony Henderson gave us a good write-up in Saturday's Journal.

We are grateful for the support of Go-Northeast, Lintzford Garden Centre and Gibside National Trust. We invite all those who respect the red kite and want to see it thrive to join us!
