Not just tell the media about the event, but did anyone bother to
volunteer to take a reporter with a TV camera on one of the contest
flights? Most local stations are constantly looking for interesting
feel good stories that they can use on slow news days.

One of the more unusual things we've done was to get some of our two-
seater owners to fly their gliders round a 'five cathedrals' task, i.e.
each cathedral in our area was a TP, with the associated bishops or
cannons on board. It was flown a group tour rather than a race on a nice
day. The churchmen enjoyed their flights and the local media loved the
idea.
