Can't get into the 2008 pre-Worlds in Laragne? Don't know if you will get in? Hoping to get some experience there before the 2009 Worlds?

Well, there may be three other Nationals there next year. David Owen, President Chabre 2009 writes:

The Dutch, Brits and Belgians have all requested to hold their events at Laragne in 2008 and are awaiting agreement of the local authority and the FFVL before announcing (as required by CIVL).

I don't have dates for these meets yet. Maybe one will be the week before the pre-Worlds. That would be cool with me (as I'll be there then).
