Book your agenda: September 28-29-30, 2007 : 8th edition of the Alumni Sailing Cup

The annual sailing cup for alumni of the leading business schools in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and The Netherlands will this year take place during the last weekend of September (September 28-29-30, 2007). Given the extremely positive feedback of past year’s participating teams, we have opted for the same location as previous year (Naarden, NL – Gooimeer). Such as it was already the case in 2006, the boats will be available already as of Friday afternoon (September 28, 2007).

For those who are new to this event: welcome! Don’t be afraid if you’re not a brilliant sailor. In fact, there is no experience required at all (except for the skippers of course). In case you don’t know any of us – I would say, then it’s an ideal opportunity for some fruitful networking… Many new contacts to discover !

For those who know the annual race: welcome again! The Solvay Business School Alumni will only make some minor changes to the program as it was organised in 2006. By the way, don’t hesitate to send us an e-mail with your suggestions. We are already aware of some requests regarding the catering as well as regarding the races (by ex. the detailed and clear explanation of the route and the rules). Don’t worry – we will outperform any previous year!

For 2007, we have set the objective to get more foreign business schools on board. For this reason, we have already reserved a few ships for these teams.

We want to draw your attention to rule which was introduced two years ago : all boats will have to carry their university flag during the race – please check already now with your university to reserve these flags.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
