Hi Al,
Yeah, having fun is one important aspect of the bigger picture.
However I can see that you and JP have totally missed the essential
element of what I was trying to earlier convey.
Consider this:
Beyond fun, there is total bliss.
Think back to your very first flight in a glider.
Did it get you hooked?
Obviously this is a rhetorical question, because here you are.
But WHY exactly?
Moving on.
It occurs to me, that having seen, experienced and mightily
contributed to many a membership drive over 30 or more years - all
of which failed - this essential element has been more or less
ignored or not recognised.
Maurice Little, as GFA Development Manager, is looking for feedback
on the Development Manual, available on the GFA web site.
Pull it up, have a look at it, and give Maurice some feedback.
Why?
Well, Maurice thinks that many clubs in Australia - including my own
- are in danger of folding in the next few years. This does not mean
that they WILL fold. However urgent action is required to reverse a
negative trend.
We are urged to think "outside the square". I have attached a
document that I earlier put up on this forum. The response was at
that time zero. This time around, I urge you all to have a real
think about the implications and possibilities.
Regards,
Gary
Maybe you got a dead silence from the people at the Kingaroy pilots'
meeting because they thought this proposal was so utterly delusional
as to be not worth commenting on or thinking about.
To be fair, it is no more delusional than what is going on in the
upper echelons of the GFA.
