I am not sure what effort the GFA has put behind this year's nationals, apart from 'giving' it to the Dalby organisation. The point however is that this year demonstrates clearly that with the right organisation and leadership, the multi-class nationals are far from dying. Holding them in Qld might have helped, as the competition scene is so very much alive up here, but that is most assuredly not the only reason. I am not sure what is happening next year, though, as I don't know who is running them. At Gulgong, the impetus behind the Dalby Nationals was already well established - and the event was publicised there. It would be REALLY good if next year's nationals could be announce at least during the current comp (if not before). I know that Ralp and his team would be more than happy to pass one their experiences. -- Robert Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 (0)438 385 533 Brisbane, Australia http://www.hart.wattle.id.au _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
