As many of you may be aware, the FQE and Quebec City have put forward an intriguing and strong bid for the 2018 CYCC and Canadian Open. They have asked us to come to a decision by March 31st.

Usually bids for these tournaments are taken at the AGM. The only other possible bids that I had previously heard of were by Calgary. I have been told that Calgary is not interested in bidding and will be concentrating on their excellent series of International events. If someone else has been preparing a bid please let the executive know immediately. If no one else has been entertaining the thought of organizing the 2018 tournaments then my inclination is to recommend that we accept the Quebec City bid and alternative bidders for these events can start considering putting together bids for the 2019 tournaments.
