"Omarama 2007 Grand Prix cancelled! By John Roake Posted: March 4 2007 STOP PRESS - LATE NEWS THE 2007 GRAND PRIX FINAL which was to have been staged at Omarama, New Zealand, December 19-29 has been cancelled and Gliding New Zealand has reluctantly advised the International Gliding Commission accordingly. It is my understanding that it will now be staged in Europe during 2008. The very successful 2006 segment of this world contest held at Omarama in New Zealand was organised by a New Zealand company "Airsports Ltd" who had reason to believe that they would be successful in getting the promotional rights for the future of this and other FAI events. FAI decided against the company's proposals during February 2007 with Gliding New Zealand being asked to carry on the organisation of the 2007 Grand Prix Final. Time constraints, funding and lack of membership enthusiasm for this form of competition meant that the parent body for gliding in New Zealand had no option other than to decline the invitation to organise the contest." Any (factual) background to what has happened ? And what happens next ? |
