G'day All, Just had another win for australian gliding! I approached my local paper today (Central Telegraph that comes out each week) regarding a number of articles on Soaring in Australia over a 3-6 month period. I've got a meeting with the local journo tomorrow afternoon to start on this project.
My thoughts on the articles are to have one on gliding in general in Australia, Adam's Quest to the Junior Worlds in the UK featuring: George Lee's advance XC course, 1st Aus Junior Nats in Temora (www.joeyglide.com), Waikerie Club Class Nats and the lead up to the Junior Worlds in Hus Bos 2005! Hopefully these articles in the local rag over a period of time will talk to people and let them see that gliding a sport that you can meet alot of people, and take you places in the world! I've come to the conclusion that if we want our sport to thrive like it does in the UK and Germany, at least one person from each club needs to take the initiative to promote gliding in their area, and not just assume someone else will do it! We need to make the oppertunities for ourselves! In the past 3 months I've organised sponsorship for the junior nats, incentive vouchers for a free launch at the local gliding club, fliers around the town and now the local paper! I'm hoping to write a few words in the sports section each week letting everyone know of the flights flown on the weekend!
