  • April 2021 MESSAGE from the EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues
    EOC NEWSLETTER No. 211 April 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, With the countdown clock to Tokyo 2020 now at well under 100 days to go, this summer’s Olympic Games are quickly approaching. As the National Olympic Committees of Europe and our athletes put the final touches on preparations, the latest Playbooks from the International Olympic Committee have given us valuable insight into what this special edition of the Olympic Games will be like. They will unquestionably be different from what we have been used to, and it is clear that each Olympic stakeholder will have to exercise a great deal of flexibility and patience to make these a safe and successful Games for everyone involved. But I remain convinced that we will pull it off as long as we remain united in our purpose – to ultimately provide, through sport, a little hope and encouragement to the world after such a trying and tragic period for humanity. Looking slightly further ahead, the European Olympic Committees continues to make real progress with regard to the European Games Krakow-Malopolska 2023. Last week the EOC Coordination Commission for the Games gathered in Antalya, Turkey for meetings with a range of important stakeholders, including potential partners, who will help us deliver the best edition of our continental Games yet. More information will be communicated to you on this subject in due course. Unfortunately, as you will all know, the Vuokatti Winter EYOF was recently postponed to March 2022, but I think everyone will understand that it was the only choice and will provide the local organisers more time to prepare the festival in the best way.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 209 March 2018 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 209 March 2018 Portes des Bombes- Il- Bieb tal-Bombi - Joe Bugeja In the 17th century the land front of Valletta facing Floriana had to be safeguarded. In 1635, Pietro Paolo Floriani arrived in Malta. He proposed that the Floriana Lines should be built well beyond the Valletta front to strengthen the citadel. Floriani’s report of a ring of fortifications was submitted to the Order’s council in October 1638. It was accepted despite strong opposition. The Floriana lines were constructed, though alterations or additions were made. Laparelli, completed his suggestions in 1645. Later, in 1681, Gutenberg proposed the construction of three bastions in front of Fort St Elmo. In July 1715 De Tigné recommended other additions. Fort Ricasoli was built during the 17th century. The Marsamxett flank was protected by Fort Manoel. Fort Tigné was built in the 18th century. Valletta acted as a citadel in the 18th century. This continued to be so during the British occupation. Little work was done to Valletta until the middle of the 19th century. After 1800, the British employed their own military engineers. They did extensive modifications to the miles of fortifications. They even destroyed the six gates that Floriana was proud of. When compared with the 17,000 men available to the knights in 1798, the British garrison was insignificant especially when one considers that there were 25 miles of fortifications. These were pierced by eight main gates. Six gates in Floriana had to make way for British military exigencies.

I thank all the organisations that have shared their experiences on the implementation of inclusive physical activity with us. With their help, we have created a DVD with illustrations of examples of good practice, that will most certainly motivate our readers to give inclusion a go and set up inclusive physical activity in their personal setting.

  • DUKLA Bulletin 2009 Eng.Pdf
    Military Sport Centre Editorial The Military Sport Centre DUKLA does not stand only for a tradition of more than forty years of great sport achieve- ments, it is also a brand of international significance and a guarantee of quality and top results into the future. It joins the majority of the best Slovak individual sportsmen and provides the best possible conditions within the whole Slo- vakia. My relationship with DUKLA’s colours and emblem is a very intimate one. I have spent here more than twen- ty years as an active competitor and so I could get closely acquainted with the obvious quality of the most successful Slovak sport club. During my active professional career, I was honoured to wear the state coat of arms on my jersey and I felt always proud, when I could promote the country of the honest, hearty and hardworking people by means Peter Korčok of sport. I highly appreciate the top sportsmen and their world’s achievements, as I appreciate fair-play and also the challenging work of coaches and support teams. Every day, I do see how demanding, responsible but also necessary is the constant care for and support of sport with DUKLA’s emblem. Therefore I highly appreciate and support those who were helping DUKLA in the past and also those who are still contributing to its prosperity and quality of work at every level. We, in the Military Sport Centre DUKLA, will give our best to work in such a way that would make our annual summing-up more successful than the previous one.
