ΟΡΙΣΤΙΚΗ ΜΑΤΑΙΩΣΗ ΤΟΥ EUROPEAN TRADITIONAL OPEN 2021

Οι δυσκολίες ως προς την διεξαγωγή μεγάλων διοργανώσεων συνεχίζονται. Η Τ.Α.Ι. ανακοίνωσε χθες ότι το προγραμματισμένο για το καλοκαίρι διεθνές open παραδοσιακής τοξοβολίας ΕΤΟ2021 ακυρώνεται οριστικά. Το γεγονός ότι η περιοχή στην οποία θα διεξάγονταν οι αγώνες (Guteneck) βρίσκεται ανάμεσα στις δέκα πιο επιβαρυμένες επιδημιολογικά περιοχές της Γερμανίας οδήγησε τους διοργανωτές σε αυτήν την απόφαση.

H T.A.I. ανακοίνωσε επίσης ότι για το 2022 προγραμματίζει τη διεξαγωγή ενός ευρωπαϊκού meeting παραδοσιακής τοξοβολίας με την επωνυμία European Historical Open 2022 (EHO2022) ενώ η μεταφορά του ΕΤΟ την ίδια χρονιά δεν έχει ακόμα αποφασιστεί.

Η ανακοίνωση της Τ.Α.Ι.:

Cancellation of the ETO 2021 

The message from our organizer came shockingly: “The authorities have strongly advised against further planning of a major international event.” The district to which Guteneck belongs is currently among the ten worst affected areas with the highest incidence rates in Germany. At the moment, the authorities there are extremely overloaded. They are very likely not to be able to process the necessary applications. 

This hint is so crystal clear that we, together with the organizer of the event, decided nine weeks before the deadline to cancel all further planning. Unfortunately, the ETO 2021 will not be carried out. We will start transferring the starting fees back in the next few days. 

For the next year – 2022, we launched a call for tenders a few weeks ago. For a Traditional Historical Open (EHO), all our member associations were asked to look for possible venues and to participate in the competition. Whether we will also have an ETO and thus two events in 2022 is not yet discussed. 

All of you might ask, what is the EHO? The EHO (European Historical Open) is a championship in which targets are shot according to historical originals and rules. If you want to get an idea of this, you should inform yourself about the WOT (Germany), Obidos (Portugal), Golup (Poland) or the traditional shooting in India or Singapore.  

At this point, we would like to say to all our members that we are deeply sorry, especially as most of the preparations for the ETO have already been completed. The Board of Directors is already busy making the rest of the year as interesting as possible for our members, in what way and form, we will inform you all about this as soon as possible. 

On behalf of the entire Board, 

Frank Schmitt
President

Eric Lindemann
Vice President
