IFMAR was just informed by FAMAR that the Costa Rica event needs to be cancelled due to noise issues with a neighbor party. Despite offers from the club to build a wall the local government is not willing to cooperate. To avoid late minute cancelling due to not having the necessary permits the organizing club decided to cancel now with about 5 months to go. IFMAR understand this is not the NEWS we want to submit, but this is force majeure and beyond IFMAR and the organizer. IFMAR are looking into the possibility to move to another location.
