A total of 181 participants from 26 MAs attended the courses and the Junior Camp, highlighting just how internationally diverse the Fuessen programme continues to be. This year the three courses included the four and a half day Ice-Technician Course; a one and a half day Umpire Basic Course as well as the one and a half day Introduction to Instruction Course. The feedback from all course participants, as well as from the Junior Camp, was once again very positive, a testament to the hard work undertaken by all of those involved in these camps and courses. A big thank you to all involved who helped make Fuessen 2014 another huge success. Top right: Ice Technician Course. Above: Some of the youngsters at the Junior Camp Below: Zoetermeer Team Camp.

ON THE ROAD IOC Olympic Agenda 2020 Ethics Working Group After being appointed as a Member of the IOC Olympic Agenda 2020 Ethics Working Group in May, I attended a meeting of the group on 24 June in Lausanne, Switzerland. Along with the 14 other Working Groups, a broad outline of their findings was presented to the IOC Executive Board at its meeting in July. These were then discussed at the Olympic Summit later in July, which was attended by all the key stakeholders of the Olympic Move- ment. The contributions will then be presented to the IOC commissions in September, before being discussed again at their Executive Board meeting in October. The refined proposals for Olympic Agenda 2020 will lastly be presented for discussion by the entire IOC membership and final approval at an IOC Extraordinary Session in Monaco on 8 and 9 December 2014. Site visits In June, Secretary General Colin Grahamslaw visited Belgrade in Serbia to meet several organisations, including members of the National Curling As- sociation of Serbia; the Serbian National Olympic Committee and Paralym- pic Committee and the Serbian Minister of Sport. Colin also visited a possible location for the first dedicated curling rink in Serbia.
