Class 1 Women's and Class 5 Worlds

CIVL Bureau has been working with the organizers of the European Championships in Macedonia and the Class 1 World Championships in Brasil on adding other classes to the events that were awarded at the Plenary in Serbia.  We are pleased to announce that the organizers have agreed to the following:

 - Class 5: a World championship will take part in Krushevo, FYR Macedonia, from July 16 to 30, 2016, at the same time and on the same site as the European Class 1 championship. The practice event will take place on August 16 to 23, 2015, and is open to Class 1 and 5.

- Class 1 Women: a specific women's World championship will be organized along the "overall" World Class 1 Championship in Brasilia, Brasil, from August 6 to 19, 2017. The practice event will take place from August 7 to 20, 2016.

We are also exploring the possibility of organizing a Class 2 world championship all on its own.
