EDITORIAL

ABS-NL 2021-07 - jr
Dear Members and Friends of the ABS,

one mega-event is being chased by the next: The UEFA European Football Championships are over, where England was defeated by a crowd of football players from somewhere in southern Europe, and now the Olympic Games in Tokyo have begun, where UK athletes are showing extraordinary success. As I write these lines, the UK is ranked 6th in the medal table with a total of 28 medals, which is absolutely amazing - and the games are not over yet!

It is the team of the Austro-British Society which definitely deserves a gold medal as well, as 12 outstanding events have been offered to the ABS members in June and July - making an average of 1.5 events per week! Dear distinguished members - no other bilateral society manages anything like this!

But the reward for the organising team is not a medal - it is the joy of our ABS members, the happiness to meet again and the incredible atmosphere you bring to our events and the appreciation you show at being united face-to-face with friends! This gives us more than a medal could ever do!

Therefore, we keep on performing and hoping that we are allowed to do so in the weeks and months to come!



Yours Jochen Ressel,
Editor-in-Chief

PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

ABS-NL 2021-08 - tiroch
Danke, dass Sie zur Sicherheit bei Events beitragen!

Es war Gegenstand von Diskussionen im Vorfeld der Wiederaufnahme unserer Events, ob die Einhaltung der 3G-Richtlinien erstens von unseren Mitgliedern akzeptiert werden würde, und zweitens, ob wir auch die organisatorischen Voraussetzungen für die Überprüfung schaffen können.

Nach bislang 12 erfolgreich umgesetzten Events bin ich erfüllt von zwei Gefühlen:
  • Freude darüber, dass die Event-Organisation so großartig funktioniert. An dieser Stelle ein herzliches Danke an alle ABS-Boardmember, die den Einlass inkl. 3G-Kontrolle mit viel Einfühlungsvermögen, Freundlichkeit und Höflichkeit durchführen. Vielen Dank!
  • Dankbarkeit Ihnen allen gegenüber, unseren Mitgliedern, dass Sie alle so kooperativ mithelfen, unsere Events zu einem Erfolg zu machen - einerseits durch die bereitwillige Mithilfe bei der 3G-Kontrolle, und auch dafür, dass Sie unsere Events mit so viel Lebensfreude bereichern und so zahlreich besuchen.
Eine Bitte zum Abschluss: Setzen Sie bitte alles daran, dass wir einander auch langfristig weiterhin bei Events persönlich begegnen können - achten Sie auf Ihre Gesundheit und ich freue mich, Sie bald wiederzusehen!

Ihr Prof. Dr. Kurt Tiroch,
Präsident
