Sponsors? Because we don't try...


Sean,

Many of us have done lots of trying. BHP shipped 8 US gliders to New Zealand and back for no charge for the 1995 WGC. I now use BHP steel products in my building projects. Network General ( now McAfee) wrote a check for $2500 for my expenses the same year. Peter Deane received a very large donation for his participation in Slovakia in 2010.
