L'Association

But de l’Association (english)

Aims of the association

Which motivations can still animate and push the impassioned voluntary ones to create an association in 2006 to support the oldest sport in the world ?

In 2004, after the cancellation of largest and the oldest competition of walk in the world (PARIS NEUILLY-COLMAR) a true collective was linked to try to mobilize and sensitize the media, the authorities, and the local authorities.

Everybody noted that there was o lack of communication between us, at the dawn of the 21st century.

Each one recognized the desertion from the competitions because of a lack of competitors, the difficulty in obtaining information at one time or all the tools of communication are so simple to use.

Then a former walker (Thierry MARTINEAU) surrounded himself by volunteers, and the idea to create an association to help walkers was born.

Yes, one more association will say some of you . Not, a new association will say its members. An association for which 3 aims are clearly defined :

to promote walk by bringing new participants on the competitions and by helping the organizers in bp bring faithful competitors.

to disseminate the most complete possible information concerning the various organizations, the current events, and all the useful information.

finally to allow all of you to communicate by the means of an interactive forum, by leaving the free expression, and while exchanging directly with the multi-media one.

We wish good walks l, and made the step to make the others know that we exist for the good of our sport.
