European Gateball Union

Flag_of_Europe.svgGateball Australia has received the first two newsletters about the formation of the European Gateball Union. Gateball Australia has responded to welcome the Europeans to the gateball playing community. An invitation was issued to attend the 2015 Australian Gateball Championships and, more generally, to visit any clubs or competitions listed on www.gateball.com.au

Hopefully, as our game spreads in Europe we will receive information about clubs and events that we might be able to visit.

The contents of the two news bulletins were as follows:
