. Below find excerpts from my recent series of emails to and from Richard Gowers of the British Kitesports Association BKSA regarding my 100% UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT to examine their SUPPOSED “insurance” “policy document” . Importantly, he REPEATEDLY IGNORED my request to provide the CORRECT location o...
