It was said:
"that would be 300 new, active GFA
members a year."
Should that not be:
"that would be 300 new, active glider pilots a year."

Jason,
Media exposure is hard to buy.
Did you know that the World Rally Championship "WRC" "Rally Australia"
round
is on this weekend in Perth? The only reason I know is I am interested in
the sport. Those with "FoxSport" can see it, and Ch10 will go live to the
event on Sunday afternoon (and I will be gliding)
The WRC is the F1 of Rally and "Rally Australia" is the Australian round -
all the top drivers and teams are in Perth - they have taken over part of
the foreshore area on the Swan River - literally millions of dollars in
play, yet east coast media coverage is almost non existent.
Like you would like to see the NZ Gliding Grand Prix be successful and get
widespread publicity, the reality is the event will be competing with
events
that already have established media channels.
Gliding needs a positive public profile.
Twice in the past week I have been asked because I was wearing a shirt
that
advertised gliding; is there a gliding club in Canberra? Both these people
were very interested; one had been a member of Southern Cross in the past.
Idea
If every member of the GFA actively promoted the sport, wearing club T
shirts when out and about etc, and everyone had 2 positive contacts a year
from which there was a 5% harvest rate, that would be 300 new, active GFA
members a year.
Is that too much to dream about.
Regards
SDF

FYI
It will be interesting to see what sort of exposure this
event is able to give gliding in NZ and possibly Australia.

GLIDING GRAND PRIX TICKETS GO ON SALE
Tickets go on sale today (10 November) for one of the
summer's most exciting sporting events, the New Zealand
Gliding Grand Prix in Omarama from 27-29 January. Likened
to Formula One in the sky, the Grand Prix will introduce the
general public to the skill and daring of competitive
gliding. Spectators will experience the thrill of the
world's fastest free-flying aircraft racing head-to-head
at speeds of up to 300kph, at times just metres above the
ground. The top 10 gliding pilots from around the world are
travelling to New Zealand to contest the title of Grand Prix
champion and take on the challenge from current world
champion, New Zealander John Coutts. A giant outdoor
screen, fed by the most advanced TV graphics and live
helicopter filming ever seen, together with live commentary,
will keep the crowds in the thick of the adrenalin-charged
action. In addition to the racing there's a host of
on-ground entertainment including wine and food stalls,
classic cars, arts and crafts and children's fairground
rides as well as aerobatic entertainment and trial glider
flights. Tickets are available through the event's
official web site http://www.gp06.com/ or through Ticketek
outlets nationwide and http://www.ticketek.co.nz/ Advance
ticket prices are $30 for adults and $70 for families (two
adults and up to three children). There are also a limited
number of three-day Flight Arena passes for $350 that
include behind the scenes access, gala dinner and pilots'
reception, daily light refreshments, separate seating area
and dedicated viewing screen.
