For accompanying persons and players alike Bremen offers a vast tourist programme. “Bremen is the city of short distances ” confirms Peter SIEMERING head of the Bremen Tourist Centre. “That is perfect – it gives you a chance to concentrate on the sport and in addition discover our fantastic city.”At European and World Veterans’ Championships Germany more often than not is represented by one of the biggest delegations with several hundred participants each. It is also one of the most successful delegations. At this year’s EVC in Liberec (CZE) German players accounted for 50 medals in 8 age categories and 4 competition classes (Men’s Singles Women’s Singles Men’s Doubles Women’s Doubles). European Veteran’s Championships take place every two years. Everybody interested may enter – provided he is 40 years or older in 2013.
