| A great turnout of 29 in Montornès, Spain |
We have had events in Spain, England, Australia, Cyprus, Belgium, Ireland, South Africa and the Netherlands. There is no need to give too many details about results, but we are pleased to see some highlights of the month.

In Australia, our friends in Melbourne did an amazing job of promotion; The FISTF Grand Prix was a huge success and several WASPA events have been held during the long week-end. The Thursday tournament included visitors from several clubs and from New Zealand. On Saturday, the consolation tournament of the FISTF event was played under WASPA banner and on Sunday, there was another event for those who couldn’t play the team event. This is another sign of great collaboration between FISTF and WASPA.

In England, the efforts of the English Subbuteo Association deserve also respect. The national circuit has amazing numbers. The tournament in Andover attracted 38 players while the old rules circuit had a great turnout of 20 players for the Rainham tournament.

Besides the big events, regular midweek events have been organized by different clubs (London, Solent, Stourbridge, Worthing, Dudley-Kingswinford, Leicester, Morecambe Bay, Dagenham, Chesterfield, Haverhill, Milton Keynes, Yorkshire), which proves the game is going well and all kind of players can find tournaments in their respective areas.

In Spain, the Catalan Circuit managed to attract 29 players for the stage held in Montornès. It’s exciting to see old and young players competing in the right spirit. The Irish circuit had also a first tournament in Donegal with 10 nice people taking part.
The results of the Glasgow Open consolation events will be added in the March rankings.
We still believe there should be more focus on the youth. Unfortunately, only 8 players are listed in the WASPA junior ranking of clubs and this is something we must absolutely improve and the young players are the future of the game.
Once again, thanks to all organizers who put energy into holding tournaments. The support of volunteers is the key to our success.
