The key to promoting soaring in this country lies at the grass roots, the young and the willing. I go to schools and talk to kids, and we get new participants. We post pictures in a local Facebook page and we get new kids interested in soaring. The target is the young, that is the largest opportunity for growth, do a youth oriented video and measure the results, you may be a bit surprised. OBTP

Appears to be universally shareable across social media and I was able to add the URL to a playlist.

Interesting. What social media do you have in mind, Frank? I open the
link on my PC in Edge, Opera, Chrome. It launches my YouTube (Premium).
As soon as I try to use the "Save" feature to place it in one of my
playlists I get this message: "This action is turned off for contents
made for kids". Same happens when I open the link on my Android phone...

Anyone having the same issue with that link?

Take a look at this series of short videos posted by 'Glide Britain' on YouTube:

I think they are well made. There are some generic ones and then some which seem to focus on a particular club. If the clubs here could produce a short intro video like this which then is linked on the SSA 'Where to Fly' website, I think that could get some traffic going rather than hoping that an interested party finds that video in an elaborate search.

I'm proud to have been one of the many sponsors of the "Glide Britain"
project (nice to have your name listed at the end of the video plus the
'Glide Britain" T-shirt shipped to USA). Just saying. Very
professionally executed, in a timely manner, with solid communication
about the progress. Well done!
