PR report for FISTC

Dear Members and Board!

I'm sorry, becouse can't be General Assembly personaly.

My job is very hard, so I have to work every day withouth free.

 I tryed to make the communication of FISTC in last years. We made four years ago the honpage, but only few member send information. I asked year by year teh news fresh information about organisations, programs, results, pictures, introduces of mushers. First time Arno Roos send veterany news, but leater noboday interested. We cange our internet adress two years ago for international, but it's not helped in activity. Last year sombody started new FISTC honpage, but not inform me about it. The new would be not better then old. I hope in the future change, and will operate the communicatoin high quality. I think in PR job need fresh and young people for FISTC.

I can tell in this situation only my opinon, what is agree only 3 hungarian mushers.

The drog test is need every bigger race. But not enough 2 years disqualification who use drug for dogs, becouse have to know this danger (how easy to kill a dog). The World and European Championships are not clean. The problem is not only the drug. Establisher members of FISTC wanted an organisation for prue-bereed dogs. We know the document of animals not all correct, so we decided to judges will controll the standard. I know the sport huskyes are not showdogs, but have to be inside limits of standard. Refer to Auronzo. Not important the startnumber, name of musher, or nationality  of teams. Think about, the bigining, why establihed the FISTC ? Why different our organisation of IFSS? Have to keep own rules, our open guest category for mixdog.

I'm sorry becouse more and more musherts want to win to mixdogs and drug. I don't want belive that the first or third plece can be so important for somboday  -  most of  calling SPORTMEN.

I know have to adopt oneself to speed and aim at to be more, but sometimes we cheat ourself. A lot of musher make this sport for fieling, love of sleddogs. It's a very expencive sport, so have to hold cleen and fair, if it can.

From the hungarian club (ÉSZK Se.) only one musher started in last 4 years.  This small club have only 3 mushers, so may be we can't pay the memberfee (if not would be wonder) in the next year, but I hope will see eachother in startline.

Good mush and good work:
