@Andy: Maybe you can make a suggestion at your general-meeting in Bruxelles (for visiting the WOB meeting)? 2009 is long time ago....time for continuation, isn't it? ;) If there would be a positiv result - i can establish contact to the 1st chairman of Golf 1 IG - if some help is needed.
i'd like to ask if someone of you is planing to visit the WOB meeting 15.-17.07.2016 - organized by Original Golf 1 IG?
