Some FEGAT-NEWS to the end of the year 2010 ...

New job for our president!
Upon our visit to the mayor of Mönchengladbach our president Claës Ljung said that he was running for a mayor ship in his home constituency, Falkenberg and might become a colleague to our host. Elections were held in Sweden in September and our president was the first name in the conservative party and group leader in the municipal council. The office of being a mayor had to wait a little longer, but on December 16th he was nominated mayor. With his experience from working with FEGAT since 1978 he has a wide experience in international work and will stress on widened international relations in his new job. Claës has an invitation to us all; when visiting southern Sweden he will be happy to show the Falkenberg municipality to FEGAT members – just contact him in good time before!

Elections was also held for the Halland region (county) where Claës lives. He was nominated county councillor and will work in an organization responsible for hospitals, infra structure, schools and hunting matters (!) in the region.

Claës assures you that the new missions he has been given will not have any negative influence on his work for the FEGAT! His common law wife Agnes will take over more responsibility for their tourism company and as Claës says: “There are 24 hours in a day and I can sleep if I get old!”

European Championship for men and General Assembly 2011
The championships will be held in Mallorca, Spain in April. We are still waiting for information – but we sincerely hope to have necessary information before this year ends! There is a lot of preparation to be done also inside the FEGAT and the FEGAT board will meet in February to take final decisions and steps of preparation in accordance with this event.

World Championship 2012
The world championship will be held in New Zealand. We are happy on behalf of NZ – hosting this event has helped them a lot to get respect for the amateur sport inside harness racing in their country. Participants will be the six (eventually more) first placed in the EC held in Spain. The FEGAT board are working with the possibility to have South Africa and Argentine as participants and we hope to widen the sphere of countries participating.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year ...!
