Information Letter no. 26-2007

 

Dear Member Federations,

 

This is to inform you about a refereeing seminar of the EFC/CEE which is planned to take place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) from 12th to 14th October 2007 for foil and épée and will be conducted by Lutz Schirrmacher, member of the EFC/CEE Referees Commission.

 

The Refereeing Commission will help with this seminar those referees who are candidates for the FIE examinations in Prag. We want to stress that we are trying to prepare candidates better for FIE exams and also raise the general level of all refereeing in Europe. Furthermore, we want to help teach referees to help them spread good refereeing in their countries also.

 

The EFC/CEE will provide hotel and full board from Friday evening (12.10.) to departure on Sunday (14.10.), and a subsidy of EUR 200 per candidate for travel costs will be reimbursed. 20 participants for this seminar will be accepted.

 

A bus transport will be provided on Friday, leaving the airport at 6 p.m. to take participants from the Munich airport to Garmisch and return to Munich airport on Sunday at 3 p.m. (duration of travel around 1 ½ to 2 hours).

 

Unfortunately we still do not know which candidates are accepted by the FIE for the Prag exams, but we invite you to nominate your candidates for this Garmisch seminar a.s.a.p. so we can prepare everything on time. Hopefully you get the needed confirmation from the FIE during next week.

 

If you still need some more information about the seminar, please contact yourself   Mr. Lutz Schirrmacher at gaportos@yahoo.de (and always with a copy to the EFC/CEE General Secretariate). This also applies in case your candidate will come by car or train.

 

May we also remind you that your candidates must have an actual FIE rules book with them.

 

With best regards and good luck to your candidates,

 

Max W.F. Geuter
