Daddo did not join the club, he was more interested in talking about golf with one of our members who was hitting a few balls out on the airfield.
The Great Outdoors approached Waikerie Gliding Club wanting to do a segment. They probably had viewed the feature done last year at the club for Emirates airlines which is shown on the majority of Emirates Flights. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Texler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 30 March 2004 9:39 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: [Aus-soaring] Daddo and Great Outdoors Did Daddo join the club?! Great exposure re gliding (nice spin footage), although I found it humourous that viewers were directed ti catch a QANTAS flight to Adelaide to go gliding at Waikerie. It may be possibly cheaper to seek out your local gliding club. As with these things, such segments on TV seem to cause a flurry of passenger flights, but how many long term members result. SOme may argue that if one useful long term member joins up, this is not a bad thing. Was Waikerie gliding club out of pocket for getting such TV exposure? Or was it a 'free' plug? Great to see sailplanes on TV Michael T. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
