A group of aproximately 20 members gathered in Frankfurt during the Xmas Tournament to discuss strategies of support to the organisers of EuroGames 2012 in Budapest. Here’s a short summary of the results of the meeting:
| - FRIGO presented an update of the organisation of EG2012 and the team involved. As there will be no public funding for any of the planned activities, the largest part of the costs has to be financed by revenues from registration fee. The major challenges in this context are: get as many registrations as soon as possible and make sure that the payments of the registered persons are done as soon as possible. At the moment around 500 persons have registered but only 10% have payed yet. This causes serious cash-flow problems. - FRIGO plans a decentralised paneuropean fundraising event during the weekend of 24-25th February 2012. The idea is to organise several fundraising parties in different places in Europe and link them via livestream. Details will follow soon via the EGLSF members list. - FRIGO invites all EGLSF-members to use the banners and graphics that are available on their website for the sake of making publicity for EG2012. - Pan Idraet has sponsored travel expenses for its members of up to 2.800€ for all volunteers that support EG2012. Out of this project a professional security manager, who was in charge for this domain during WorldOutgames in Copenhagen, has visited Budapest and elaborated a detailled analyses of the security situation. The result is that the security situation in Budapest 2012 is expected to be no different from any other city in Western Europe. A short summary of this report shall be published via the EGLSF members list. - Artemis Sport Frankfurt announced that its board decided to dedicate the sum of 1.000€ to foster early registrations among their members. Artemis-members that register early will get a reimbursement on their registration fee. - IGLA will organise and finance a demonstrational water-polo match with an All-Star-Team during EG2012. | - IGLFA has organised a football tournament in Budapest in order to evaluate the capacity of the local team to organise large tournaments. The result was very positive. The tournament was apreciated by its participants. Especially the italian teams have expressed their full support in doing publicity among the LGBT sports scene in Italy i.e. by launching a press-campaign in the italian LGBT press. - GLEA announced a 1.000€ donation to the EG2012 swimming competition. - Pan Idraet and EGLSF will check possibilities to make a credit card payment system available to FRIGO in order to facilitate payments of registered members. This is not an exhaustive list of all support activities that have been engaged, but only those that have been announced and/or discussed during our meeting. The main challenge for the EGLSF family will be now to encourage our members to register and when they did so to encourage them to pay their registration fee. This is also good news, as it means in revanche that if we manage to foster participation, the organisers consider that they will be able to mange the technical organisation of EG2012. Registration There are 18 sports to choose from: Badminton, Basketball, Bridge, Chess, Cycling, Dance, Football, Handball, Hiking, Petanque, Roller derby, Swimming, Synchronized swimming, Table tennis, Tennis, Track and field, Volleyball and Wrestling. Apart from sports, there are also cultural events, parties and conference planned Participants may also register as visitors, solidarity supporters or volunteers. Budapest awaits you during June 27 and July 1, 2012 for the 14th EuroGames! |
