Hi to all ESSDA Members.

The ESSDA Board would like to wish all the members a very happy Christmas and best wished for an excellent New Year.


“Attached is the Annual Board Report that was due to be presented at the AGM in Barcelona for the Previous Board (Feb 2007-July 2008). It was compiled by the Co-Presidents of the previous Board.

The Board apologise for the delay in sending the report. The Current and Previous Board very much regret that because of the problems with organisation in Barcelona, it prevented us from securing an appropriate time and venue for a full AGM. The Board would very much like to thank the people who stayed behind after a very tiring day on the Friday of that week to deal with the only agenda item possible ‘The Election of the new Board’, and the current Board would also to thank the outgoing members of the previous Board. (Roswitha Wetschka, Andrzej Selerowicz, and Sharon Vickers).

The current Board members are.
Ralf Schiller (Male Co-President).
Dörte Lange (Female Co-President)
Davy Brocatus (Treasurer)
Jacky Logan - formally Appleton (Secretary)
Niels Menge – Board Member
Vernon Kemp – Board Member
Thorsten Reulen – Board Member  

The Current Board are working towards the following aims:
To produce a set of Competition Rules, which have taken into account discussions on the forum.
To produce a set of Bylaws to be voted on either at the next AGM, or in a Referendum in the New Year.
To improve and develop the website and consider ways to set up a partner search facility.
To liaise with other Similar and Umbrella organisations such as EGLSF, GLISA and FGG
To ensure that there is proper time and venue set aside for an AGM in Copenhagen following the problems with this in Barcelona.
To investigate ways of financing ESSDA and setting up relevant bank systems.
To continue with various subcommittees on
a. World championships
b. Competition Rules and guidelines
c. Public Relations (formally Quality and Attractiveness)

We welcome any suggestions from the membership. Please contact us via this email or through the website”.
