BBC response:
Keith,
Yes
I am aware and we used to do power kiting at that event. On an
event basis it would be possible to do buggying etc. I have had
meetings with the council which seemed quite productive however, as the
court case etc is being somewhat prolonged and the councils need to
ensure that they have explored ALL risks for ALL sports (not just us)
then I am afraid that we are having to wait.
We
will be back on the beach though in time.
Also,
I found out that things have moved on a bit but now the industry is
getting involved and the council are talking to them so I am sort of out
of the loop, however ALL the different clubs needs are being addressed
and we will be back there at some point.
Hope
this helps.
BTW,
not sure if you are aware of the original accident but it was that one
thing that has caused problems with other councils ever since, they do
want us back but we need to respect their wishes and adhere to the
voluntary ban. Once we are back at Lytham we should find it easier
to be able to deal with other such authorities as their excuse would
have been removed.
