During his visit to the Spanish
Federation the Secretary General examined the site and its excellent
infrastructures, as well as the hotels that have been selected to host the
athletes and officilas during the games. Some of the hotels overlook the
wonderful beach of Castelldefels and all of them are a few kilometres away from the site.

of the European division of Correct Craft.
The boat Ski Nautique, produced by
Correct Craft, will be the official boat for these
Championships.
During the meeting the official
Bulletin for the Worlds has been presented. The Bulletin, that contains all the
important information regarding this event, will be circulated in a few days by
the Spanish Federation to all the National
IWSF
Federations.
The Championships are not the only event
taking place in Castelldefels: the IWSF Executive Board Meeting will take place
on September 11-12 and the Congress will follow on the 13th.
The main point on the Agenda to be
discussed is the approval of the new IWSF Statutes and the election
of the new IWSF President.
This will be an extremely busy and intense
week for the IWSF; the Catalan resort of Castelldefels, with its beauty and
well-known hospitality, is ready to host athletes, officials and executives for
the most important skiing event of the year.
