About Apurba Kites and TOM!!!	Forth comming Competitions

Let me tell you a little about myself my name is Apurba Roy my friends call me Tom. I learnt to fly fighter kites back in India when i was only ten years old. I had a thrity year gap where I didn't fly kites. Until I met Ron Moody, who introduced me to the kite festival scene and all the old memories came flooding back. I went to france last year for a compeition. I got through the first round and went out in the second, all because the glass powder string (manjha) cut my finger which stopped me pulling the string. The manjha I was using i made myself it wasn't as good as the professional manjha.	Tom and Ron @ Tewkesbury

Monheim Germany 2004 Looking forward to claiming First place!

June 2004 Outreaw in France I went to Outreaw in France for a competition and managed a respectable 4th place, with all the stiff competition from all over Europe I was quite pleased. Although I know I can do better, not only with my technique but also the material that I am using. All the experiencethat I gain in compitions is then used skill fully to improve my kites, the materals such as the Manjha to the type of bamboo.

May 2004 European championship in Rougham I went to the European championship in Rougham and managed Second place. I should have won, but as they say better luck next time. I did gain some valuable information into the type of bamboo that I am using. It would seem that the opposition would like to know where I get it from so they can use it too as it was stringer than the majority if the competition. Dont worry, the secret is safe with me.

January 2004 India I went to India in January this year and got some really good manjha. I practised with a few of my friends in Richmond park fighting kites.

	I just cant leave it alone!! Just trying to relax and enjoy the great weather we are having here in the UK! Not very often are those words spoken. This is one of the main reasons why the competitions I enter are in mainland Europe. I can be found in places such as England, France and Germany. If you would like more details on the competitions I enter, then feel free to contact me and I shall be happy to provide you with details of upcoming competitions and kite festivals I can be found at.
