    CHANGES TO Australian Gliding

    The decision was made at the 1997 annual council meeting in Sydney, for AG to be published bi-monthly, in A4 format. This took effect starting from volume 47, no. 1 - which was the January/February 1998 issue.

    A further decision was made that commencing with March 1999, a joint magazine will be published with the Hang-gliding Federation, for a period of 5 months, pending a vote by the membership on possible amalgamation of the two bodies.

    The Editor of AG for the past 6 years, Noel Matthews has declined the position of sub-editor (gliding) with this joint publication.

    All contact with the GFA in regard to the magazine should now be directed to :
    Box 1650, GPO Adelaide SA 5001
