I think you fundamentally misconceive the role of the GFA. Like most
organisations, its mission statement differs significantly from reality. It
is actually a technical organisation set up to oversee the regulation of
gliding under delegation from CASA.
I hug it :) And its registration - GQH - was previously on a prototype
Boomerang! Quite fitting when I moved from the Boomerang to it :)

Unfortunately, the GFA web site was unreadable to me as it was
completely useless under Mozilla/Linux. Recent changes now make it
readable - possibly one of my email to the GFA on this subject had some

After a good flight, does it shout you a beer?
Does it take a 6-pack on days when outlandings are likely?
Does it mindlessly whistle I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK... in thermals?

I think this will be news to a large number of people, who thought it was
about promoting gliding.
Possibly, Mike, but I don't think you were fooled.
Do you really mean the mission statement deliberately sets out to deceive
the members?
Probably not

Robert,
If you really believe that it costs nothing more to produce a web site that
ALL browsers can use, then I suggest that you offer to write and maintain
it.
Sadly, this is just not true - I wish it was as it would make my job
considerably easier.

This good work from Adam is unfortunately timed, coming as it does on the day that
Kodak announced the loss of 600 jobs due to the closure of it's Australian film plant.
Film photography is dying.
Doubtless the doom and gloom merchants on this list will draw parallels with gliding...

adam you're doing exactly the right thing. all

won't have a job in six months. your knowledge of the photographic industry
