The Christmas rush is over, the recovery phase begins and we can even sit back comfortably and enjoy yes unfortunately so typical Christmas thaw. I would like to take this opportunity to all our colleagues and of course still interested in geography and to wish you a happy, especially healthy 2007
First wait the beginning of February, the MNU-day again with many interesting Topics on us (who has questions about the program can come to me or directly to Ms. Diana Wegner (0385/7601731) in Schwerin LISA contact.
addition, in these days, the documents for the competition NG-knowledge to the schools, because even up to the competition on 1/27/2007 grades base and to be completed by 2/22/2007 for the school winner. So if you have any documents, reports please contact me ( geislersabine@gmx.de ). On the website of National Geographic there is the chance to train for competition at different levels ( www.nationalgeographic.de/php/entdecken/wettbewerb7/trainingscamp.htm )
As in the info Post reported on, have the individual Regional groups in 2007, many events before. Here I would like to thank all my colleagues - Ms. Heiner, Mr. Herrmann, Mrs. Jordan, Mr. Oschwald, Mr. Range, Mrs. Reimer, Dr. Richter, Rönnfeldt wife, Mrs. Sell Mrs. Sigesmund and Mr. Weiers - thank them for their support and the very best for the New Year wish - without them I would work on the Board possible.
Also, I would be happy if visited by many ladies and gentlemen, the Geographers in Bayreuth (the problems of the necessary exemption and high costs are of course well known - perhaps man can save by carpooling / Group Tickets something)
The Lower Saxony State Association invites you to his Verbandstag. Here you will be sent the information.
Unfortunately, it seems to still think that some GIDS books not because of incorrect addresses can be sent. If you have not received our new issue, please register.
Finally I would like to wish all a happy and nice rest of holiday.

The race day started calm and relaxed. After breakfast, around 10.15 clock, all participants should arrive at the publishing house Gruner + Jahr. Gradually I was now uneasy. Already at the entrance to the finalists by the moderator Andree Agupyan were "intercepted" and run behind the scenes. Before the start of the "show" Andree told us the course and tried as best we went there to calm and to take the nervousness.
