Dear Fellow Rotarians and partners,

The Organizing Committee is very pleased to invite you to attend the 43rd IGFR European Championship which will be held from 12th till 16th of June 2017 in the most romantic destination you can imagine: Bruges. The magnificent medieval town in the Flanders part of Belgium, of which the entire city centre has been designated by Unesco as a world heritage site! Bruges with its enigmatic canals will offer you a psychedelic stay in ‘the Venice of the North’.

You will love our amazing program, the ‘Burgundy-style’ gastronomy, our beers and chocolates, our fine arts and the international masterpieces of the great Flemish primitives. You will enjoy a concert and the gala dinner and so much more! And let’s not forget of course the beautiful golfcourses of Damme and Ostend which you will fully appreciate and where Rotary fellowship again will reach memorable moments of friendship! A challenging parklandcourse and Belgium’s only links, founded by King Leopold II are waiting for you. For partners ‘non-golfers’, exciting trips to Knokke-beach and to the old city of Ghent are part of the festivities!
