It's that time of year again, the Canungra Classic Hang gliding competition is on from 2nd - 9th October. If you've not been up here to experience it, I'm sure you've heard stories of amazing flights from Mt Tamborine and Beechmont, and cant wait to blow out the winter cobwebs with week of flying and fun in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Last year we had a full week of top class flying.
Click here to sign up!!This year we're moving HQ to the Canungra Hotel's new function rooms and they have special rates on accommodation for us, just mention that you're with the competition when booking. See the Accommodation section of the website for further details.
For all of those worried about VHF radio requirements, there should be no impact on the Classic and we will avoid setting any tasks that could cause any problems.
Hope to see you all up here in October!

 G'day Everyone,
For anyone that doesn't know me. I am representing Australia in this years Redbullxalps www.redbullxalps.com The race starts in Austria and travels through Germany, Italy, Switzerland and finnishes in Monaco France. Its a non stop, day and night race through the Alps useing nothing but a paraglider and the athletes feet.
The media attention for this years race is massive. Most of the comercial television stations will be running segments on the race. Chanel seven news has ran a 3 minute segment and has just organized to do another before i leave and updates during and after the race. Outdoor magazine, inside sport and a number of other magazines have expressed interest in running articles. Here is a short online interview i did recently with Courier mail.http://player.video.news.com.au/couriermail/#VjQ4HOsiEc6h05vEsxLPGWr_bCyK2hUi
In short, i think this is not only good for our sport but also a great opurtunity for any business to advertise. I am looking for a major sponsor and i still have almost the entire undersurface of the wing available.
To raise funds i am raffling off the wing that i used in the 2007 xalps. Tickets can be purchased via my website www.lloydy.com.au
If you can let people know via your club, organizations mailing lists i would be very appreciative. Also If you know of any company's,organizations etc that might be interested in sponsoring me please feel free to contact me.
Thankyou in advance
Lloyd Pennicuik ph 0438 788573
My bank details are commonwealth bank, lloyd pennicuik, bsb 06 4449 account number 1022 3286
P.s, for my old hangglider mates, i will get back into it one day :-)
