3 Welcome! by President of CDCO 42 (organising Committee) Junior European Cup 2013 // bulletin 3 Dear Orienteering friends, On behalf of the organising committee, I am pleased to welcome you to the 2013 European Junior Cup in France, October 4th to 6th, in the Pilat Regional Park just above the city of St-Étienne, well-known among orienteers. The Pilat Regional Park, an orienteering terrain above all, is the ideal place to practise our sport. Indeed, the French national team has recruited many orienteers coming from our forests such as Thierry Gueorgiou, the most famous French orienteer. For competitors, we wish to organize a challenging event, where you will be offered the possibility to show all of your technical and physical skills, with competitions set by some of the most experienced course-setters in France. For spectators we wish to provide an exciting show, and the possibility to enjoy competing on the same terrain as the JEC races. Competition areas, official accomodations, and the event centre are all located close to the village Le Bessat in the Pilat Regional Park ; a perfect way to optimize travel time, and improve your comfort as much as possible. I wish good luck and a lot of fun to all the athletes. Welcome to JEC 2013! Hervé Bodelet Chairman of the Orienteering Departmental Committee of La Loire 2
