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 one 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 glider's transport.

The World Basketball Championship was held here in 2010!

The Pre-European Championships will be from the 4th to the 10th of September,
2011. It is an excellent region for flying cross country 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 popular around here. For the period of the
competition the Organisation will provide free accommodation for pilots
in a nice dorm-type facility. If you’d prefer to stay somewhere else, there are
plenty of fine hotels in Kayseri to stay in! You can find this information as
well as the Local Regulations, the Program and more technical details at
www.outdoorfestival.org,
which will be updated regularly. During the competition, results and activities
will also be published at the same website.

We hope to see many of you come visit and fly with us in Kayseri and look
forward to assisting you in every way we can!

Our staff will be happy to see you here in Kayseri.
