EMG 2008 - Newsletter February 2008
Dear Masters Sports Friend - Welcome to the February edition of the
newsletter!
Sweden's minister for Sport and Culture shows her support for EMG 2008
"International sporting events mean a lot for Sweden. In particular, I'm
happy to note the creative aspects of the European Masters Games. And I'm
proud that the première is in Sweden and in Malmö, which is our southern
gateway to the European continent." says Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth,
Sweden's minister for culture and sport. Read the full interview on the web

Don't miss out on the early bird!
The tempo is really accelerating all over! We have seen a significant raise
in both registrations and in web activity. We also see lots of nationalities
in the registration system (more than 35 different countries today) which is
fantastic news. We were always a little worried that EMG 2008 would mainly
be visited by participants from the nordic countries and nearby European
countries. Naturally, these countries will be more represented than others
but already now we can promise some truly European Masters
games!
Please note that the first of March is getting close fast and that the end
of the early bird treat ends by this date. The treat is a quality Costa Boda
glass memorial medal designed by one of Sweden's most loved glass artists.

No need to be elite
We are naturally very happy to see former world famous elite taking an
interest in EMG 2008, however - those who are passionate, come to
participate, meet friends and have a good time will always be the ones who
represent the character of a true European Masters! Eric Dumas is a great
example: "I am a lifesaver and since 2002 I participated in 3 World and 2
European Championships. I enjoyed participating in those events because of
the sport and the people you meet. At the EMG 2008 you can also visit others
sports and learn more about them, so I have to be part of it." Read
