Dear ICCF Delegates, Officials, and Friends,
Please find attached a QC Report update [see congress page „Documents„] and note from our Qualifications Commissioner.
Neil has a weight problem and we certainly do not want him strolling around Congress without clothes. Better let him explain:
“Hello Everybody – since my Congress Report of June 4, 2013, a further 17 Titles have been awarded & the Ladies Olympiad Results are now known. Please see attached Supplementary Report. All Medals & Certificates were posted to Poland in June so I will have to carry any extra Medals and Certificates in my own suitcase. I now have 32 extra Medals to take to Poland so it is impossible to carry any more or I will have no room for any clothes! So please note that no more Titles will be awarded before Congress. Thank you.”
Regards,
Dr. Michael Millstone, ICCF General Secretary
Dear ICCF Delegates, Officials, and Friends,
As previously announced, the deadline of July 6, 2013 has passed for declaration of voting delegates, designees, and proxies.
The attached list [see congress page „Documents„] is considered final for the 2013 Congress and no further changes will be made.
Regards,
Dr. Michael Millstone, ICCF General Secretary
Dear Friends,
Please be advised that Excursions and Accompanying persons programme has been preapared and presented below for your planning purposes. However, some details and time are subject to change.
After your arrival to the hotel, during registration process, you will be asked to declare your wish to join specific trip. Although, it would be good to know your preferences in advance, because in some objects the size of the touring group is limited and very early booking is required. It may result that the principle of FCFS (First Come First Served) might be in course.
