Voor alle mensen die aan Rescue 2010, de WK in Egypte mee willen doen is er een belangrijk bericht. Dat geldt vooral voor de mensen die het hele verblijf en alles organiseren voor zichzelf en/of teams. Het bericht is afkomstig van de secretaris generaal van de ILS, Dr. Harald Vervaecke. Dus let op!


Dear Member Federations/Organisations,
Dear Participants to Rescue 2010,

We are pleased to note that already 860 people have registered for Rescue 2010, which is an excellent result. We anticipate many more to come and therefore send this e-mail for your consideration.

We kindly request each ILS Member Federation to e-mail/distribute the attached Information Brochure to all its member clubs.

This is very important because we noticed that people are not informed of the offers and are starting to do bookings themselves. This is worrying the Organising Committee.

Please be informed that we prefer to have all teams staying in the Mamoura precinct.

The Mamoura precinct is a guarded precinct with a gate access, a security control during day and night and is much more secure than a place in the city. The rates proposed for the apartments in the Mamoura precinct are very affordable (see the Information Brochure we attach) and are offered at these low rates because of buck hiring. Each apartment is checked by the Organising Committee and unacceptable apartments are discarded.

It is indeed possible to find cheap(er) accommodation in Alexandria but please be aware of the very low standards you might get:

hotel rating: to compare to western standards you should remove 2-3 stars,
it is not certain that the hotel or the neighbourhood is safe like in the Mamoura precinct,
hygiene is possibly low in accordance with your standards and therefore there is a higher risk of diseases

We really advise everybody to book accommodation in the Mamoura precinct.

Best regards,

Dr. Harald Vervaecke PhD
