This email recognises that this list is about personal gliding stuff - the sailplane to buy, the great flight had. So I am happy for respondents to the below to reply off-list direct.
The thought below comes via parallel experience in the other part of my life, and reinforced by stuff I'm seeing in the business media. There specific select individuals are shown to have got together interested in a subject, and in that independent cluster have explored their interest, going on to evolve outcomes, including new business ventures. In my case, the gathering is of quite diverse people, a very esoteric topic, with outcomes both in professional development, and an off-shoot start up, where I was able to wangle a directorship. This all started with regular breakfast get togethers where we were fed and had a structured way to work through a complex matter with lots of issues. Back to gliding. With breakfasts taken; it may need to be lunch. In a regular routine. Within that topic, the detail issues of sponsorship, event management, continuity of public profile, public perception, and the ability to respond, finance for routine fleet upgrade, commercial support resources, links to business, media, sport. The guiding format is patterned to IVESCO rather than CAMS. For those interested in that depth of conversation, a direct contact to me about beginning that investigation. A virtual world equivalent to the physical world lunch table may need to be developed. -- Emilis Prelgauskas B.ARCH ARAIA [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
