Determination of the goals of the Presidency to the VH:
stabilization of conditions in the Union PG
creation of a union website, V. Brabec informed about the issue and consulted the LAA authorities about the possibilities of creating a union website. The results of the negotiations show that the most feasible solution is to launch the www.svazpg.cz domain outside the LAA server.
support for the organization of events for union members and the general public and PG presentations at them (Paradelta Show, provision of PG demonstrations at aviation fairs)
Car for the national team Jiří Koubík informed about the current state of use of the car for the PG representatives. The rules for using the car were drawn up by the former presidency. In the opinion of the board, it is necessary to set new rules on the use of the car, because there is a risk that the car will not drive under the current conditions and it will be necessary to pay fixed costs for operation (insurance, maintenance). Then it may happen that we have to pay the losses for the car. LAA demands that the representative of the union (the previous presidency elected Kral Vrbenský) take responsibility for the car, to whom the car will be handed over. The car must be used in accordance with the rules set by the Ministry of Education. The union representative must ensure that these rules are not violated. The board considered the possibilities of further action and ordered the sports commission to prepare a proposal for the procedure by 20/4/2005. The approved proposal will be discussed with the free section and then submitted to the LAA council on 26/4.
Delegates of the LAA Council The Presidium agreed on the delegates to the LAA Council (Konečný, Šembera) and will discuss their acceptability with the free section. Afterwards, the delegates will be accepted into the LAA Council.

Masařík will present the presidium with the preliminary proposal no later than 25.4.2005/XNUMX/XNUMX
The Board of Directors must further decide on the amount of the contribution to the successful World Cup in Brazil. The CZK 400000 issued so far for entry and travel fees is an advance payment.
World Championship in Landing Accuracy M. Masařík was given the task of registering pilots for the World Championship in Landing Accuracy and preparing a budget for this event.
Top table Mr. Brskovský introduced the board to the so-called Top table of sports, which determines the volume of allocated funds. The table determines the popularity of sports and is compiled by a commission at Charles University. Last year, we dropped from 59th to borderline 60th place. It is necessary to ensure greater promotion of our sport in order to have a good position in the top table. The way to stay in the Top table is more contributions to the media. We therefore appeal to the members of the union, to the organizers of the events, to try as much as possible to inform about the events in the media. Paragliding is one of the sports that can aspire to participate in the Olympic Games. This fact would greatly affect the popularity of our sport.
