Among the topics discussed was the re-scheduling of the European National Championships A Tournament which has been put back to 2010. Finland confirmed that they can no longer host the tournament and a decision on a replacement host has yet to be made.

Following the conclusion of this year's European Junior Championship there will be further meetings to consider the future format for this competition.

In two weeks time EFAF will hold it's first ever "Women in Sport Conference" and BAFA will be represented in Helsinki by the BUAFL Research Officer, Dr. Elesa Argent.
