European HG Championships 2012 – Turkey
Dear Hang Glider Pilots,
As you may know, the 18th FAI European Hang Gliding Championships will be held in the city of Kayseri (Turkey) in 2012; therefore, we will have the practice event this year!
The Pre-Europeans is a Category 2 event open to everyone!
Kayseri is a mayor city of 1 million inhabitants making it one of Turkey's oldest and most historic cities. It has an international airport (ASR) and, if you contact us beforehand, we can help you with your gliders transport.
The World Basketball Championship was held here in 2010!
The Pre-European Championships will be from the 4th to the 10th of September. It is an excellent region for flying XC and our organization team has a lot of experience in paragliding competitions achieving a very important position in that world. We’ve hosted the 2003 and 2006 Pre-PWC’s; the 2004 and 2007 PWC’s; the 2008 and 2009 Turkish Paragliding Championship. We are looking forward to hosting even bigger Hang Gliding events and improve the work we’ve done in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Turkish Hang Gliding Championships.
We are organizing the European Championships because we’d like to promote this area, the sport and have new people come to fly with us! After the competition, we are sure hang gliding will be very populararound here. For the period of the competition the Organisation will provide free accommodation for pilots in a nice dorm-type facility. Ifyou’d prefer to stay somewhere else, there are plenty of fine hotels inKayseri to stay in! You can find this information as well as the Local Regulations, the Program and more technical details atwww.outdoorfestival.org, which will be updated regularly. During thecompetition, results and activities will also be published in the same website.
