European Circuits

Unread postby Bobbles106 » Wed Jul 30, 2008 12:16 am

I'm looking for information on any European circuits, smaller than the Golden League or Super Grand Prix series. I've been pretty unsuccessful so far, maybe i just don't know where to look. Are there any B circuits, that aren't just the super elites, during the summer anywhere throughout Europe? Any info would help. Thanks!

Most countries organize national meetings, mainly in june and july.
The last of the "swiss meetings" takes place the 31st of august in "La Chaux de Fond".

We have been there 2 years ago. One of our vaulters won a swiss watch for second place.
