Poštovani,

zasigurno je većina vas u ovom trenutku ispred svojih uređaja u WW CW, pa kad padne adrenalin pročitajte i razmislite... Ove dokumente sam dobio na private mail od OM Olivera, Z32TO koji je HST manager u IARU R1.

Stavljam ju ovdje kako informacija ne bi izgubila svoju vrijednost  :wink:

Venue
The Championship will be held in Primorsko, situated at Black Sea coast, 52 km south of Burgas. Primorsko is a relatively small town (population 3000), but one of well known Bulgarian sea resorts.

Accommodation
The accommodation will be organised in a three-star hotel located only 50 m apart of the beach. Double rooms with WC, bath, and TV are provided. Accommodation prior and post Championship is also available upon request.

The weather in this period of the year is stable, usually sunny, with daily temperatures (both air and water) 22–23 degrees C, in other words – ideal for vacation and swimming.
