Airfare alone is about $1100 and then there is food/accommodations for 3 nights, train fare from Zurich to Lausanne and back... I would estimate at least another $800 everything else.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 4:39 PM, Peter Vogel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vogel.peter@gmail.com" target="_blank">vogel.peter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Thought you folks might be interested what is going on in the soaring side of the FAI world. A proposal to condense several events, soaring being one of them, has been submitted. The soaring community in the US is taking notice that AMA is not funding the individual area reps to go to the meeting, so the soaring folks have decided to try to fund it themselves. Here's the thread:<br>

<br>
This is the document that has gotten them to do this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lomcovak.cz/wp_eng/f3b/2013/03/f3b-world-championship-in-future-canceled/" target="_blank">http://lomcovak.cz/wp_eng/f3b/<u></u>2013/03/f3b-world-<u></u>championship-in-future-<u></u>canceled/</a><br>
<br>
F3A is mentioned, but only in that it should remain as is. F3M is talked about as a target for elimination. Again, this is a proposal submitted for consideration.<br>
<br>
Thought you might find it interesting. I recall reading that our US F3A CIAM rep was also told by AMA that they would not fund his travel.<br>
