Organisers welcome Safety Director
The organisers of the 17th FAI World Hang Gliding Championship, 2009 are delighted to announce the appointment of Ali Gali as Safety Director. He takes up this crucial role immediately, and is already a key member of the competition committee working on the Pre-Worlds event in 2008.
Ali Gali is a senior hang gliding and paragliding instructor, and knows the Laragne-Chabre area extremely well, having spent many happy years flying hang gliders here. He was a member of the French team for the World Championship in 1993, and is a former French champion in 1987 and 1994. He currently lives in Morzine, and was Meet Director for the FAI European Paragliding Championship, 2006, and worked closely with the Safety Committee. He speaks excellent English (and his French is pretty good too!).
