Dear IEMA members,

Please find attached the invitation to the 2013 Annual General Meeting of IEMA.

I have decided after 15 Years that it has become my time to pass the presidency of IEMA to the next one. After careful consideration and some persuasion I was fortunate to manage to talk our long-term Executive Secretary John Lammerts van Bueren to be available for re-election to the Executive Committee. I want to use the opportunity to thank all of you for the support I have received over the years I served for IEMA. I wish John and the Executive Committee all the best in the work ahead.

Best regards,

Fred Meyer
President
IEMA

We would like to invite members of your Association to take part in the International Regatta Saint Petersburg Classic Yacht Week  that will be held 23 - 28. 07. 2013 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

This Regatta is the part of the Baltic Classic Circuit consisting of three major regattas for classic boats on the Baltic Sea (Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Helsinki Classic Weeks).

A special exciting event for captains and crews of the fleet will be the night passage through the St. Petersburg bridges into the Neva River by Peter and Paul's Fortress.
