New Site
Tuesday, 15 April 2008

Regular visitors or users of this address will notice that the site has completely changed. Whilst some effort has been made to retain the look and navigation, there are significant changes however to the way the site operates, its features and capabilities.

Perhaps the most significant change is the platform on which the site is based. Visitors can be become registered users to allow greater access to certain areas plus the ability to add events, live. There are other access features also to provide authorised club members to maintain the clubs details on line. GFA Officers and officials can also directly add blog sites for event promotion, progress and results.

Clubs will be contacted on how to access the relevant maintenance areas. Officers and departments will also receive instruction and access permissions.

Explore the changes and report any difficulties. Thank you for your assistance in the introduction of this new site.

Call for Trophy Nominations
Monday, 05 May 2008
As GFA Trophies Officer I am asking for nominations for the following three awards.  These are awarded annually and on this occasion are based on the year from 1st May 2007 to 30th April 2008.

The three awards are: 

Martin Warner Trophy – for the best height gain in the season
Wally Wood Trophy – for the greatest outright distance flown in the season
Bob Irvine Trophy – for the best Handicapped distance flown in the season

Nominations will need to reach me  by 30th June.  I will need some evidence of the flight of course - either an IGC file from a logger, or a statement from the Official Observer.  The awards will be presented at the GFA AGM in Adelaide in September.

Cheers, Tim Shirley
GFA Trophies Officer

Wanted - A volunteer to administer a National Youth gliding scholarship system.

RANGA (Royal Australian Navy Gliding Association), wish to offer an annual Gliding Scholarship aimed at encouraging new people into the sport of gliding by providing scholarship holders with low cost ab-initio gliding training. The scholarship fund will be controlled financially through existing GFA systems however it requires a manager to implement the scholarship processes and adhere to the conditions of promotion, offer and selection. Suitable applicants may come from a Naval background and suit someone of retirement age. The job is not onerous, but requires proper management. It could be done by almost any mature interested party. Further details from the GFA President
