Subject: The Golden Gate Challenge III

The Golden Gate Challenge is scheduled for Saturday of Labor Day weekend,
September 3, 1994, in San Francisco.  It is sponsored by the Northern
California Kite Club, and is a sanctioned AKA and regional AKM event.
Besides a full slate of events, including lunch, t-shirts, single line
demos, and "people's choice awards", there will be an emphasis on the
novice and intermediate classes.  This is a one day event that will
use league style precision (except for novice and juniors) and will be 
governed by the current AKA rulebook.  Contestants must be AKA members in 
good standing.  For the ballet events, contestants must supply music in 
cassette format only.  Registration is $35/person which includes t-shirt and 
lunch.  There will be all classes in the individual events and the   
team, pairs and quad line ballet will be run as open events.  Contestants
must declare competition class in open events.

The flying fields will be 300 feet square, at Ocean Beach.  Normal winds
are 5-15 mph, and glassy smooth right off the water out of the west.  A  
wonderful opportunity to spend a day (or two) of flying, and then to have
the holiday weekend to visit the romantic city of San Francisco and
nearby area.
