Wow, now that's scary. Can you substantiate that (i.e. are there
particular articles that you know that have been submitted to the
magazine have not been published)? Is that a documented GFA policy?
I would have thought that at least letters to the editor was a bit more
of a relaxed forum and at least let something through.
You will note that the last time I was published (a letter to the
editor) it was by the hang gliding sub-editor.
The articles on parallel path that clubs receive direct from me have
been written for and provided to Soaring Australia.
Terry Cubley may be able to advise on federation policy, as he is the
nominated person in a past set of Executive Minutes to help the
sub-editor look for appropriateness of material offered.
