ICGA Plans ?

Post by CRoberson »

I don't know what the ICGA plans are for 2010 WCCC.
However, they have had a trend of following the Olympics.
2006 -> Torino (winter Olympics) and 2008 -> Bejiing (summer Olympics).

The next Olympics is in the winter of 2010 in Vancouver.
I'd likely go to a WCCC there in 2010.
Could have much fun with a HAL theme!

i have heard the next championship will take place on the moon.
and they said they cannot guaranty internet connection or
that the windows could be opened, neither cold drinks or snacks.

but...

there is a sponsor and the flight is paid.

Yes, but only one way. You'll have to wait until the mainland Chinese show up in 2017 for your return trip.

And, of course, the field is limited to only three participants...

That's the election for the three officer positions, surely ;-)

How cruel they will never return from such a journey to the moon. Nobody ever was there! Proof see __________
