To break the tie, Roger and Mauro played an extra game. Roger won. Below is a picture from that game.
There were a few changes in the committee at the general assembly on June 8th 2021. Kurt Glatzfelder was newly appointed as a president taking over from Roland Löhr. Roger Loup is again youth leader, Dimitris the newly elected gamemaster. Patric Müller and Osi Odermatt have been confirmed in their positions as treasurer and “Aktuar”.
I would like again to call your attention to our general assembly to be held on June 8th 2021.
It is important this time as I will step down – as already announced – from my position as President and that a successor has to be elected.
Please register as soon as possible, but latest by June 4th 2021 – many thanks in advance!
