The GP2005 has just ended and about 6 months later the GP2006 is held
in NZ with rather hefty price tags for visitors.

Is this a new trent in soaring contests?

"HEFTY"? $NZ30 per day???? About a measly 17Euro???

From zero (St-Auban 2005) to NZ$ 30 or a "measly 17 Euro" (GP-2006)
still is a rather steep increase in entrance fee.

If they throw in an airshow like depicted by Bruce Holt they may have
a winning formula.
I hope they get their 15.000 paying visitors!!
.... and their long awaited ATM machine ;-)
