FISM 2012 BLACKPOOL? :: BY CRAIG MITCHELL

FISM 2012 - BLACKPOOL DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES?

Blackpool is a poor choice for FISM in 2012.

As far as I was aware, the General Assembly is meant to evaluate and vote on the host city for 2012 - assessing the quality of its bid indepedently. Considering that the voting process only takes place tomorrow - how is it then possible that Blackpool are already taking registrations ( 450 Euros for advance registration for the city that hasn't even yet been officially approved if you are intending to go ) Is that not a slap in the face to the member societies ? Does this not make a mockery of the actual host city voting process ? If the member societies have already been polled - I will happily retract this all - but just because there is only one candidate city does not mean that it's bid is up to standard or that the General Assembly won't make alternative recommendations. It seems a little presumptious to me on the part of Blackpool.

Close-up reviews from Tuesday & Wednesday to follow along with pics and the mass murder of fish ( fair warning, this could be negative bias in favour of living things ) in the stage contest today ..
