News on the 2025 General Meeting
Ladies and gentlemen, dear members,
You will now receive the registration form and the documents for transferring a voting proxy as additional documents for the AGM 2025.
We have also put together a selection of hotels for you. In Plön "and around" there are also a number of other smaller guesthouses and holiday flats. We cannot guarantee the quality of the accommodation listed below. Unfortunately, we have not been able to arrange a contingent of rooms with a discount. Timely registration combined with timely booking therefore ensures the place where you can "lay your weary head to rest".
However, we are organising a bus shuttle for transport between the hotels and the MUS on 4 and 5 April. Please note your accommodation on your registration form so that we have an overview.
Further information will be published in future issues of the marine forum on the "Yellow Pages" and at this point.
WE SEE US!
Yours, Elmar Brocksieper
