Dear Luciano,

RE: Referee Invite/s - 2010 ICF Canoe Polo World Championships

After approval by the ICF Board of Directors, I write this letter to formally invite the following ICF Canoe Polo Referees from your country to help form the group of 24 referees who will officiate at this year’s championships.

ITA ZANNONI Gianluca Male ITA PELLI Maurizio Male ITA DONZELLI Andrea Male

I refer you to ‘Appendix A – Referee Administration Fee’ of my original invitation letter to teams - copy attached for your information/ reminder.

I now attach a Referee Confirmation document - one per referee, for completion and return by 16 th May 2010 - to Duncan Cochrane – Chief Referee at email [email protected] - earlier return would be appreciated.

Please note this confirmation document includes an area requesting an indication of travel costs for each referee, which we kindly ask is completed as accurately as possible in order to calculate the final Referee Administration Fee.

The confirmed referees should please be included in any list of athletes/officials provided by you in the future to the Milan Organising Committee, as unfortunately Italy, at the present time, are not able to provide accommodation and food to referees.

However, I am pleased to be able to inform you that Italy have kindly offered to host a dinner for all referees on the evening of Friday 3 rd September which we hope all referees are able to attend, and perhaps most importantly, will provide each referee with 4 x T- shirts, 1 pair of trousers/shorts and will be able to provide waterproof jackets should there be bad weather.

Once all 24 Referee Confirmation documents have been returned I will write again confirming the final administration fee and how to make payment. After all teams have paid the required Referee Administration Fee, travel refunds for your referees will be paid by ICF Headquarters.

We sincerely hope your referees listed above are able to accept this inviation.

Yours sincerely,

Greg Smale Duncan Cochrane
