Hi Eurodisc, this email is directed at the junior representatives in Europe. It was sent out to federations, but to make sure it reaches all junior national team reps quickly, I also post it here on Eurodisc.
Chris Dear European national federations, dear junior coaches, WFDF has recently announced that Dublin has won the bid to host the junior world championships next summer. So, WJUC in Dublin, august 12th - 18th. Congratulations to Ireland , and also a big "Thank You" to the other two European bidders from France and Italy. Now, us Europeans need to decide whether we want to accept the Irish offer to also hold the Under17 event, EYUC 2012, at the same time and place. This is quite a luxurious situation, to have WJUC in Europe again. Obviously, doing both these events in one go has great advantages, and after the fabulous Heilbronn 2010, where we had all in one, it feels natural to repeat this in Dublin. The only issue is logistics&money. Dublin is hard to access other than by aircraft, and the tournament itself will be more expensive than the ones in the past. Details on this to follow later. What we want to avoid is that we grant the bid to Dublin, and then only a handful teams show up for the U17 girls and U17 open divisions. So, we decided to ask you, the national junior team representatives, for input. In short, we want to assess if there is a strong tendency either towards Dublin, or towards a more central location. Do bear in mind that we do not yet have any alternative; and we would certainly want to have the event fixed before the end of january. So if you favour an alternative to Dublin, you would also need to come with a host very soon. Some federations already approached us and said that Dublin was fine, but obviously we want to hear everyone. This email goes via the official channel to the national federations. At the same time, I will post it to the addresses collected at Wroclaw at EYUC11, and to Eurodisc. This is because we want to make sure that the mail finds it's way to as many as possible junior representatives quickly. So, we would like the representatives for the 2 teams (U17 open and girls) to get together and answer the survey below. In your mail, please state clearly what function you have in your federation, formally or informally. Also, state whoever else may be responsible for this. Please do answer in any case, even if you do not plan to send any teams to EYUC, or do not even have any players in that age group, so that we know we need not wait for more input. At the same time, in questions 8 and 9 we ask about your junior teams (aka U20). This is to get a rough idea what numbers to expect at Dublin. Deadline: please do send the information to the EUF youth committee <yo...@euf.efdf.org>. by dec. 31st! Yes we are aware that is less than 2 weeks. But all we want here is a "quick&dirty" answer, not a 100% proof commitment. And I am sure many of you will not be in "ultimate mode" after christmas, so better get it done before . Also, please be advised that the EFDF forum I encouraged you to use in my previous mail is currently unable to register new users due to spam abuse. I will let you know once this has been taken care of.
