Women and Bahrain
Recently, it was brought to my attention that some women have expressed concerns about travelling to Bahrain. In recent years, the World Championships have been held in Cairo and Dubai, and many Canadian women have participated in both events. I haven’t heard of any issues in either country, but I encourage those who have travelled to share their experiences, good or bad. Your insights could be valuable for others who may have similar concerns.

Update from Munich
The Munich European Veterans Circuit is one of the best-organized competitions. There are good facilities, easy access by public transport, and many hotels in the area. The level of competition is good, they had over 200 participants (most of the top people from the European rankings were there) from Italy, Germany, France, Hungary, the UK, Ireland, Sweden… We were three Canadians. The competition organizers booked a nice Bavarian restaurant for the Saturday night meal. Munich is a nice destination this time of year as there are many Christmas markets to visit.
