Yo fellow Aviators! See http://www.glidingmagazine.com/reviewdetail.asp?id=120 for my book review of Terry Delore's new book Master of the Wave The book is available from John Roach (editor) of Gliding Kiwis, How much - nearly who cares. but it is less than a launch ($NZ39.95 plus postage). John accepts Visa or Master Card. The book was to be available prior to Christmas but the wait is worth either for a late present or just do it - place an order now
This is a book that I for one will read and re-read over and over again - hoping that a little of the Delore-magic may rub-off and help me. It is another book that will stay on my bed-side table for many a re-read in those non-flying hours :-)) It ranks up there with other bed-side Bibles of mine such as Riechman and Winning 2 (George Moffat)!

I gather the GFA have largish stocks of the Video and may be reluctant to order the DVD version. OK we can order fron John R in NZ but it is much easier to get 20 or so from GFA when ordering log books or Basic Gliding Knowledge. I am sorry I do not know who the president is these days! let alone the treasurer of GFA. Think Terry Cubley is still into promotion. I know our club bought the first 100 videos from NZ and have probably given away another 100 to people we think show interest. Still selling videos is a bit like selling slide rules when calculators are available!!

I can highly reccomend Winning 2, it's a brilliant read. Goes right into what it takes to win, psychology, attitudes, stories, skills, starting comps and many other interesting bits and pieces... And Riechman, well everyone knows about the Riechman... So look out come time of the Kingaroy Nats '06!!

Terry Cubley, Ian Grant, Richard McLean and myself are all Marketing & Development Committee members, and several of the items which are discussed on Aus-Soaring make it into our own discussions. I am not sure about which GFA office bearers are also subscribed, but most certainly relevant topics raised here are discussed by other areas of the GFA. The decision to re-release the FAI video in DVD format is obviously the right move as DVD is strangling VHS tape in the same way that iPods and WMA/MP3 players are killing off CD and cassette tape players. The other associated question is this - does the FAI video/DVD convey the message that Australian gliding clubs actually WANT to portray ? I am led to believe that much of the footage is taken from "Lucy Learns to Fly" (which I have not yet seen) which was filmed circa 1995. I am interested to know if people think it now looks dated after 10 years, and what, if any additional footage needs to be included to modernise it and really "sell" gliding in Australia ? Your thoughts on this matter are appreciated. Some time ago GFA were carrying quite a stock of the videos, which did not take off with clubs as well as was hoped. I am not aware of current stock levels, but the numbers could be found out easily enough. Obviously before any decision by GFA to stock the DVD could be made, they would need to get some sort of commitment from clubs wanting to purchase it to avoid a repeat of what happened with the VHS videos - maybe pre-ordering is the way to go ? Some items will always sell, like pilot log books and Basic Gliding Knowledge books. Others could be left sitting on the shelf for a number of years before selling out. My wife has just been through the same exercise of trying to sort out appropriate stock levels with our kids school P&C uniform shop - what an eye-opener that was !!! FYI, the new GFA President is Daryl Connell. You can find out the other office bearers from the 2005 AGM Minutes http://www.gfa.org.au/Docs/minutes/AGM2005_minutes.pdf (link straight off the GFA home page) If I am not mistaken, a picture of outgoing president Bob Hall and incoming president Daryl Connell (along with a profile IIRC) also appeared recently in Soaring Australia magazine (which I just can't put my hands on at present).
