THE 2008 WILLI
A MESSAGE FROM THE MEET DIRECTORS
It's time again for pilots to book their holidays for the Willi at Golden B.C. July 26th to August 3rd. It is also time to book your campsites as the campground will fill up quickly-book early!
This is a relaxed Competition open to all levels of pilots- both Hang Gliding and Paragliding.
Mount Seven is a world class well developed flying site with a two wheel drive to launch. The landing area is a huge groomed field right next to GEAR camping and headquarters for the meet.
This year's comp will be run by myself and Serge as joint Competition Directors. It is great to divide the load up and Serge is doing a great job. Competition rules and site info are available at Serge's website at: http://sergewebservice.ca/seven/wmxcc.html
Now the scary part- WE NEED VOLUNTEERS. I have been asking around and have been getting that blank staring look. Come on pilots-it's your meet and I don't cook breakfast. A fill in sheet will be put up at GEAR so you can fill it in while you are out there, or put in your name in on-line. We will try to keep this list updated on line. Act quickly, as I am sure the spots will fill up quickly. I am trying to get local sponsors to donate gift certificates. All volunteers' names will be entered into a draw at the wind up BBQ on August 3rd.
The following prestige volunteer positions are open at this time.
