Dear Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We believe an update on the 2023 Games is long overdue. We have to admit, we’ve been quiet for way to long. Yes, the Games are coming<\/strong>, but let us explain in more detail. It has been a tough couple of months, organizing such an event is not what it used to be. We have been negotiating various opportunities but unfortunately some potential sites were not able to accommodate us for various reasons, others did not provide the value for money we want to offer. At the end of the day we would like to see the Games appeal to widest possible audience allowing as many of you as possible to come and compete. This means finding a location that suits a wide variety of budgets, and is accessible through good flight connections at reasonable prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This year we also want as many of us as possible, if not all of us, to compete and live in close proximity. We also want the sporting facilities to meet the highest standards of amateur sports. On top of everything, our jobs now all require to do more with less. This unfortunately means having significantly less time and energy to dedicate to voluntary projects such as the IAG. All these things combined made our search and efforts quite challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A healthy work-life balance is of immense value and the Inter-Agency Games have been one of the most prominent initiatives of achieving this. We know how hard and passionately you pursue and train for your sport, so we are determined to see a successful IAG event to be held this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are happy to share that we now have sufficient offers to make a final choice of location soon. We expect to announce the details soon and share the official invitation with your focal points immediately after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The expected dates for the 2023 are in early to mid-October<\/strong>. This allows us to make use of post-season prices as well as give you enough time for planning and to apply for eventual visas. If you have questions, leave a comment bellow, I’ll try and answer as best I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
