Hi all,
just a word in support of the organisers.
This is not a European event this is a world event, I would not travel all the way from Australia for a 3 day event, what if there is no wind or too much for a couple of days. You can't expect people to travel such a long way for such a short time.
Meausurement wise, you must remember that this is the first event, there is a lot to go through and those travelling from a far would probably like to spend some time getting the bugs out in those first two days anyway, after all you don't have to come to both days. Obviously the expectation is that you need to organise local measurement before you leave, if this has a cost involved it is up to your local F16 group I would imagine. In OZ this does not normaly have a cost attached, but only your locals would know.
As for cost, I challenge anybody to have it cost more than from OZ but that is our choice, what you get for living in the best place in the World <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Entry cost is well within the realms of what I would expect for a World event, under $200 Aus. for one up. National events in OZ can cost that much, so seems reasonable to me. Less would be good, as I don't know where all the money is going to come from yet <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />, but such is life <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
I thank the organisers for going to all the effort to get us this far <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />. There is certainly nothing that would put me off coming in what has been organised so far.
