Brilliant.
You're a student, aren't you?

Yep
Thinking of setting up a kite society at uni for several reasons - paying (though discounted) work for me, fun, and grants to buy more kites for "club use".

That does sound like a plan.
Do you know lots of people there who are interested in it?

Certainly if they think they can get free lessons. I've decided to take a somewhat mercenary approach now I've finally had the insurance come through - I'll teach the people I promised lessons to before for free, but that's an end of that, even for my friends. I think I can justifiably say that I should get something for doing quite a difficult job, even if it's not full scale pay.

Motivated?
"Poor" would be a better description. I'm looking for a bit of cash up until June, at which point I want to head down to Cornwall and start teaching full time*, either with an established school or on my own.

*Until September, when I have to come back here again for my final year.

There's no reason for it other than sheer laziness on my part, unfortunately.
