Le dimanche 13 novembre 2022: première réunion de préparation avec les 15 bénévoles pour EC Bowling 2024 dans Molenbeek-Saint-Jean.

Nous avons d'abord commencé par le tour d'introduction où chaque personne s'est présentée.

Après cela, le budget a été largement répercuté à partir duquel il faut pouvoir financer le Championnat d'Europe de Bowling 2024. Avec cela sont venues plusieurs idées sur la façon de le faire.

Par la suite, il a été convenu qui ferait le travail pour s'assurer que tout se passait bien.

Cette première assemblée générale s'est conclue avec succès et tout le monde est rentré très satisfait.

Bien sûr à travers différents groupes comme un groupe pour les réseaux sociaux, comme un groupe pour les secrétaires, ... ils tiennent toujours de petites consultations pour voir comment évolue la préparation.

La prochaine assemblée générale aura lieu en mars 2023.

On Sunday, November 13, 2022, we met for the first time to set up the organization of the European Championship Bowling 2024. This took place in Bowlmaster in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek.

We were pleased to see that 15 people are willing to work together for a smooth organization at European Bowling Championships 2024.

First we started with the introduction round where each person introduced themselves.

After that, the budget was passed on extensively from which it is necessary to be able to fund the 2024 European Championship Bowling. With this came several ideas of how to do this.

Subsequently, it was agreed who would do the work to ensure that everything went smoothly.

This first general meeting was successfully concluded and everyone returned home very satisfied.

Of course through different groups such as a group for social media, such as a group for secretaries, ... they always hold small consultations to see how the preparation is evolving.

The next general meeting will take place in March 2023.

Hello everyone, my name is Christophe.

Hello everyone, my name is Michel.

For some time now we have been preparing for the 12th European Deaf Bowling Championship 2024.

I wonder why we got involved in this committee.

We are indeed organizing the European Deaf Championship in Belgium.

I remember that Belgium organized the 5th European Deaf Bowling Championship for the first time in 1994.

I was impressed by the interest of the many deaf people present. They were quite old people. I was there and gave a speech to deaf players.

And now, after 30 years, we are organizing it for the second time and for a larger number of participants.

It is really interesting to know the history of this championship.

Now there are many young people and we can see the example of that time and benefit from their experience.

Michel has already experienced this, so he is experienced. I wanted to work with him to share this experience with young volunteers.

It's a nice project, but it requires a big budget.

Can we tell them the exact details of this budget?

That is a huge budget compared to 30 years ago!

Then there were few players, now we expect between 175 and 225 players.

In addition, the current price of bowling alleys is expensive, in addition to transport and compensation for volunteers and so many other things...

So we need support for that!

And then there's the rising cost of living...

That's a lot of costs... How did we prepare this budget? In our committee, 15 people are working on this issue of finance and it is clear that this is a big budget.

Given this information, we are working together to fill this budget and we count on your support on behalf of Belgium.

I want us to be proud of our country!
