Alább láthatjátok a Lengyel Szövetség - saját ötletébõl - által kíírt, a VB elõtti héten, a VB helyszínén "profi" körülmények között megrendezésre kerülõ masters nemzetközi versenyének általános információit.
Ne akadjatok meg a kiírásban látható egy-két furcsaságon, ami a korcsoportokat és versenyszámokat illeti!
A kezdeményezés JÓ. Fogadjuk el így, induljunk el minél többen!
Használjuk ki a lehetõséget, és a helyszínen alakítsuk meg a Gyorsasági és Maratón Kajak-Kenu Masters Nemzetközi Szervezetét! Kérek ehhez (akár ön)jelelölteket gyakorlati angol nyelvtudással (vagy megfelelõ segítõvel).

Üdvözlettel, Doki
