WMF Technical Committee meeting 2016, 30.-31.01.2016 in Prague, Czech Republic

The annual WMF TC meeting was held last weekend in Prague, "hosted" in his home city by our Youth Officer Martin Tománek. Many thanks to Martin for the local organization.

TC convened in 2016 with one more member than usual. The elected member Jan Strandberg had announced his retirement last year and was replaced at Delegates Conference in Lahti by Lars Kvael from Norway, a long-time international player and coach. The newly founded Oceanian continental federation sent Amsterdam-based Oliver Hicks from New Zealand as its sports representative to TC and it was pleasure to have the sports marketing pro Ollie in our lineup.

Other TC members are WMF Sport Director Pasi Aho as TC chairman, EMF Sport Director Ermes Franchini, AMF Sport Director Yuki Koshimura, American representative Jon Stanwyck as well as the already mentioned WMF Youth Officer Martin Tománek.

The World Minigolf Sport Federation (WMF) organized courses, both before and after the European Cup held October 1st to 3rd in Appelscha, to increase awareness on the fight against doping in sports. These courses, consistent with the WMF Test Distribution Plan 2015, briefed members on the current World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations. The attending athletes and coaches were instructed by the attending doping control officials on the proper procedures when an athlete is chosen to undergo an anti-doping test.

WMF President Dr. Gerhard Zimmermann has been elected as a Secretary General of AIMS at the AIMS Extraodinary General Assembly, which took place in Bangkok from 11th till 13th of August. (AIMS - Alliance of Independent Recognised Members of Sport - unites 25 International Sport Federations, including WMF. http://aimsisf.org/).
