2nd General Assembly

26th. of August 2021
21 Members found their way to Switzerland for the second General Assembly. We were very happy a face-to-face meeting in front of the first European Camel Festival was possible.
Among other things it was decided that the next Festival will take place in the Netherlands 2022

First General Assembly

It was a new experience for most of us.
Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic we had to organize our first General Assembly as an online meeting. With 19 of 29 members we had a good participation quota. 
The participants elected the board members (see above) for the time till 2024, international Year of Camels. 
We thank our members for participation and hope to see you next time in person.
