Please find a message that the co-chairman of the FSB wants to share:

I would like to emphasise that meeting each other at competitions and sharing our passion should be a moment of pleasure above all.

First of all, I am fully aware that there have been tensions in the past and perhaps even today. It would be positive if each of us could make a contribution to the building of a better future together.
A simple hello to each other would already be a first step towards a better future.
I can understand that there is a spirit of competition, but within a framework of fair play of course.

In a second step, it would be nice if this kind of respect and mutual aid could also be extended to the organisers, whoever they are.
It is not always easy to organise a competition because of the limited possibilities in Belgium. Nevertheless I think that every organiser (and there are not many) does his best to put together something worthwhile and appreciable for all handlers.

Of course I am always open to constructive remarks. The ultimate goal of our federation remains to improve and ensure the development of all in our sport.

Thank you for your attention and understanding.
Nathalie de Spa
Co-President

Dear handlers,

A challenging program for next months was setup with several organizers. (See the Calendar FSB)

A lot of opportunites was programmed for the Class 1, 2 and 3 handlers to allow them to practice their hobby.

A cup challenge will be started as usual for Class 1 and 2 with at least one trial a month until the final trial in March 2021.

The cup will reward the best performers with beautifull prices at the end of the trials. Regulation and practical detail will follow later on.

A large choice of trial opportunities will be presented to the Class 3 handlers (prequalification Continental) .

Several trials in 2020 and 2021 will offer the opportunity to qualify for the final at Pentecost 2021. The 8 best results will be selected out of the top 20 participants to the final weekend
