I as VP-Championship have to inform all of you today that we have to change the date of the Largs Worlds 2014. By checking the calendar of 2014 there is a collision with the Kielweek. The 2014 dates of Kiel will be 26th – 29th of June. After checking with our Largs-contact, David Kent, he informed us that it is no problem to change dates. Proposed dates are now for the Worlds 2014; 4th – 12th or 11th – 19th of July. I hereby ask all national secretaries to inform me about their date of preference. Please email me your countries date of preference.

Best Regards, Jan Lechler
