News

A few weeks ago (the 5th of March 2008) we received the following letter from Bern

Dear Mr. President, dear Ron

Dear friends,
On behalf of the board of the Swiss Two-Days March I am happy to transmit the decision of the Board, that the Swiss Two-Days-March will be Member of IML again. We hope, that it will be possible to be member for the march 2008. We know, that it is very late to announce that decision still for this year. Unfortunately the new Board and the organization have had a lot of troubles to organize this walk again. We can promise you, that the organization will be the same as before, for the moment on a lower level but with the needed IML standards.

The events are planned as follows:

- 2008 17. /18. May 2008
- 2009 16. /17. May 2009 50th March
- 2010 15. /16. May 2010

In between we are very pleased when all the mails, mail and information’s are addressed to:

Mr. Juerg Gmuer

Honorary Member IML

All the details you can find on the new website: www.2tm.ch

We hope, Mr. President, dear friends, that Switzerland can go on to be a proud member of IML and that it is also a very good solution for IML itself.

With best regards

Juerg Gmuer

Decision

After an intensive emailing discussion within the Board about the membership of the Swiss Two-Days March the board has reached the following decision:

It is a pity that the March is on the same date as the March in Diekirch (Luxemburg) and Dailan (China)..

Nevertheless the board is very pleased to inform you that we welcome your march again as an IML member and a founding member.

International Master walker That means that the previous decision on how to become an International Master Walker is suspended. The walkers have to complete the walks in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Japan, Luxemburg, Switzerland and the Netherlands in order to obtain the International Master Walker Award.


Dank   Luc Henau


EO Pederson In Memoriam

Dear members of the IML, dear walking friends, ceo

It made me sad to receive the message that our good friend, Eiler Otto Pedersen (EO), died yesterday on the age of 74.
In 1986 he was the representative of Denmark in Papendaal, where the first talks took place about a co-operation between multi days walking events, spread all over the world.
And so EO was, as one of the founding fathers of IML, present on the founders meeting in the Nippon Centre in Tokyo on 29th of October 1987. During nine years he was Vice-president for the European region.
A couple of years ago, being in a bad health condition already, EO accepted the presidency of the IML in order to solve a continuity problem within the Board of the IML .
Although he did everything what was possible for him given the circumstances. Always he would be amongst his IML friends, his walkers in Denmark, Europe and the world. So the last year, when he was very ill, he was in Blankenberge and participated at the general meeting in Arenzano.
 
He was a real ambassador of the walking sport and IML and an important force behind the Haervejsmarchen in Denmark.
 
We will miss him and remember him as a good friend and a advocate of walking, especially IML Walking Association and of course we will meet him again.

Ron Hendriks

Forum Important!
About a year ago we started with our Forum on this website. Unfortunately it was not a great success as we had a lot of troubles with spam. So we will close this Forum end of this year. We don’t really need this Forum to have contact with each other. Do you have any questions, do you want to give us suggestions, advice,… do it directly and contact us by email luc.henau at imlwalking.org. Thanks for your understanding and for your co-operation.
