Since no one has posted anything about this yet..After
getting the Tom Knauf e-newsletter (recommended BTW
if you don't already get it) stating John Roak is undertaking
a new soaring publication called ' Gliding International'
I emailed John and here was his response:

Hi Paul,

Such is the response to Tom's newsletter, that I am
going to need every spare copy of our January issue
for all the new subscriptions we have received today.
But the thought was very nice and I appreciate it.
*Plan on attending the 2009 SSA convention, never
have, but this year I am steward at the World's in
Rieti (Italy) so that takes care of our overseas travel
this year..

So . . . .

Hi - have any Australians received copies of either of the NZ gliding
magazines yet? I'm a new member of GNZ and wondering if they'll ship
my magazine over the ditch...

Amazing!

Ordered on 16 JAN 08 and received on 23 JAN 08! (That's from New
Zealand to the east coast of North Carolina, USA)

In the mean time, the U.S. Postal Service still has not delivered the
December issue of "Soaring"... (I called SSA a couple of days ago and
they are sending a replacement issue.)
