Crystal Balls at the Worlds

I enjoyed the Vids from Jonny, as well as his blog.
Its easy to see how he does it. He flies one handed. Probably because his sprogs are set correctly so he has no fear of being spat out, upside down. :-))

Jamie's Tweets I found rather good as well. It least it shows that a blonde knows how to use a phone!.

By far the most "fun" was the Irish blogg. Its good to know that there are still some out there that are still adept at taking the piss.

The Ager open, fortunately has Jonny and Jamie reporting. Without them we wouldn't have much of a clue that 24/7 Carl is doing rather well.

.. I kind of lost the ball, but it's updated with the final results now. Getting any media coverage proved to be difficult … had we won, I'd like to think we might have got somewhere. But coverage for us, enthusiast couldn't have been better with the official sites and blogs. Really enjoyed Jonny Durand's contribution:-

How does he do it? Come second in the worlds and provide the best coverage on the net!

Not quiet as exciting as Jonny's movies, but my BOS 08 and 09 efforts (as mentioned in Skywings! ) can be seen here:-

THANKS NO LONGER REQ'D AS I'VE FOUND A GLIDER (WANTED) by miles hockliffe (guest), 1245074861|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I Have been asked by the organisers of the HG Worlds in Laragne to post the following:

For safety reasons the take off at Laragne-Chabre will be closed for the period of the Hang Gliding Worlds - 20th June to 4th July 2009, to non authorised pilots between midday and the opening of the start gate. There are several other sites in the region where pilots can fly including those at Aspres, Sederon, Colombis and St Vincent, St Genis etc. Worlds HQ staff will be happy to give details of other available sites and how to get to them.

The website for the Worlds is HERE

Cheers,
Nicky

I reckon the little calendar of HG comps would be better on the front page than hidden in the 2009->2009-Comps menu, since this is my primary use of the site - to find out info about future BHGC events.

in discussion The Comps / Competitions. » Ager 2009

I was asked to pass my details on to you via Geoff May who flew with us here over the weekend.

I know that there is big HG comps here this year and I just wanted to make sure that people knew there was a local contact with accommodation and transport for the comp weeks.

I hope that I am not being too forward but just did not know who to contact to get the news out.

If you would like me to prepare a snippet about us and our services please let me know.

I had my first group of hang glider pilots here last year with Gordon Harris and they are coming back this year so we must have done something good :)

Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Winston and Amanda

btw
I prefer this to the last website…. its an order of magnitude more professional.

BUT

I think the front page should not keep on changing and should be as simple as possible while still making it obvious how to get to the most used parts of the site.

Editing rights to the front page should be restricted to one or two people

We should achieve a consensus before changing it i.e. maybe we could have some hidden prototype front pages developed and tweeked and when were happy with it then freeze it at least for 1 season.

The structure of the site can be too complicated but as you say you need input !
I believe Graham Phipps has been tasked to specifically evaluate the website and propose changes

Hi, to all the guys in Sports and the main task that we're so welcoming and so willing to help us with anything and everything. It was a real pleasure to be amongst such a great flying event and learning from the top guys and fellow novices alike! Pete Coad as Comp Director helped make it entertaining and good natured too.

2 great XC's in 5 days, both my longest in the UK and the only ones I've managed since 2005, when I was flying my Rio. Looking forward to more, new sites, great scenery and 'craic'. Cheers, Craig. PS hopefully you'll see my website contact here too!

Thanks to everyone for making Sports event so much fun! by Craig Ennis (guest), 1241561709|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
