Throwtown, 10. Februar 2002

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen

Last year we succeeded in establishing throwing contests as new popular events.

And this year? What about founding a thrower's association!

European Throwing Club Dragonrock e.V.

What?

We will be an official association to represent the art and sport of axe and knife throwing.

Why?

Because all others sports have such associations, only we not. Hahaha, this would not be a reason! But this are reasons:

Many throwers want sometimes meet their collegues for know how exchange.
Many folks are interrested in throwing, but learning it is not so easy. A group can help beginners over the start barriers.
Many more throwing events wait for being initialized. An association can encourage and consult future conductors.
Since knives can be viewed as weapons, it is necessary to watch the law and it's development (e.g. throwing stars being prohibited in Germany). We want to spread and protect our sport as an official discipline.
In some countries throwing knives are not allowed at all. For them the other countries might play a kind of ice breaker.
Knive throwers suffer often under the prejudices of the normal people, who have hair-raising wrong ideas about throwing. This wrong public picture we want correct.
More ...

Who?

The organization shall serve all European axe and knive throwers.

How?

We will see. This is the first fast written proposal. During the year the page will grow and details will be worked out, depending on your feedback.

And now?

Join the discussion, subscribe to the mailing list in chapter "Thrower's Meeting - Communications". Become a foundation member!
