SLOVENIAN GYMNASTICS FEDERATION
Dear friends united in gymnastics,
Welcome to portorož
EUROPEAN UNION OF GYMNASTICS
Dear gymnastics friends,
After a wonderful and remarkable Golden Age event in Toulouse 2014, I would like to welcome you
to join us in the lovely city of Portorož and Piran in 2016.
I think that we all were impressed by the Slovenian LOC presentation in Toulouse last year. In September 2015 when the Info meeting was held for HOD of the European countries, the Slovenian LOC
manage to impress us even more. Great presentation, nice meals and a bike ride along the coast
from Portorož to Piran to see the main venues. All Hotels look great and are located on the coast
and really in walking distance from most of the venues. We also went on a sailing trip along the coast
and some of us went swimming in the clear Adriatic Sea. It was just a wonderful experience in the
Mediterranean climate and I’m sure we will all have a great time there in October 2016.
I would like to express the sincere gratitude to the Slovenian Gymnastics Federation and in particular to the experienced and capable members of the Local Organizing Committee for the great work
already accomplished.
From our perspective the 5th edition of Golden Age Gym Festival is just around the corner and
all the energy of Slovenian Gymnastics Federation as well as the LOC is focused into delivery
of outstanding event that will match the outstanding scenery that Portorož possesses which
makes it a perfect location of the GAGF. All of those attending the Info meeting in September
had the opportunity to see it for themselves and all others will have the same opportunity in
less than a year.
As the LOC president I am proud and honored that I can extend my invitation to each and every one of you on behalf of my Federation and on behalf on my team that is already working
around the clock with the intention to make the organizational part of the festival absolutely
spotless and affordable. We really hope that you will join us in Portorož in the beginning of
October 2016 and that we will be able to count the record number of participants. You are
more than welcome.
Last but not least I am also proud to announce that Slovenian Gymnastics Federation will also
host another big UEG event – 2016 TEAMGYM Championship that will take place in Maribor not
far away from Portorož immediately after the conclusion of GAGF. Should you have the desire
to attend this event as well do not hesitate to contact us and we will make the arrangements.
Jernej Salecl
Director of GAGF 2016
