**(beginners)</pre></p>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are more than happy to announce that after many years Madrid will once 
again host the &lt;strong&gt;26th IFPA European Footbag Championships.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This will be the third time this event has been held in Spain, but the 
second time it will be in Madrid.

We will make a great effort to offer a fantastic event, staying true to the 
European Championship's objective of holding an event in a public 
space.

The event will take place in the Parque Casino de la Reina, in one of Madrid's 
most vibrant neighborhoods.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We know that it's quite warm in Madrid at this time of year, but the place 
has 
a great roof that will protect us from the sun.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Registration Fee is 50-¤&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everyday we will provide free simple breakfasts, coffee(if you dare), 
fruits 
and water everyday.&lt;p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;There will also be the option to order t-shirts with the 
beautiful official 
tournament logo; they will cost 15-¤.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Additionally, near the tournament venue we will have many places with a 
wide 
variety of food, tapas and beers; we recommend visiting:&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mercado San Fernando, Incredible variety of food and drinks, check out the 
website&lt;p&gt;

&lt;a 
href="https://mercadodesanfernando.es/degustacion/" 
target="new"&gt;San Fernando Market&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transport:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Public transport in Madrid works very well. There are many metro lines and 
buses available.

The metro usually runs until 1:30 a.m. Buses operate 24 hours a day; from 
midnight onwards, the night bus service is in operation.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To use the metro, you need a transport card, which can be purchased at 
metro 
stations and costs 2.50-¤. It is recommended to load a 10-trip 
ticket (7.30-¤).

On buses, you can also pay directly with your contactless bank card, without 
needing the transport card. The cost per trip is 1.50-¤.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxis in Madrid are also very reliable. Official taxis are white with a red 
diagonal stripe and use a taximeter (the price depends on distance and time). 
You can hail them on the street or find them at taxi ranks.

There are also ride-hailing apps such as Uber, Cabify, and Bolt. These usually 
offer fixed prices through the app, which can sometimes be cheaper or more 
convenient, especially at night or for longer trips.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Google Maps works very well for getting around Madrid using public 
transport.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accommodation:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please check the map with recommended areas to stay, based on quiet zones, 
balanced areas, and more lively (noisier) areas. there are also marked some 
key 
points of interest to help you get around and make the most of your stay.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Schedule:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Footbag Net&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;

2 rounds of Glow golf. One after dark Friday one Saturday.  The other round on Saturday afternoon is a Pro AM round where a pros name goes into a hat with an amateur and as a team you play a round of best bag. All 3 rounds count towards your overall score. ' </pre></p>&lt;p&gt;This is a free camp out event.  
If you're not a camper or are flying in we have some indoor space for you as 
well. And/or a couple extra tents. 
We have some amazing neighbours/sponsors who give their yards up for our golf 
course AND give us MONEY every year to feed you all! 
So food is taken care of for you Friday night, breakfast lunch and dinner 
Saturday, and usually there's some leftovers Sunday morning.
Some FROpers have started planning their vacations around this event, so we 
always offer to open our place up before and after the event weekend so they 
can hang with us or use our place as a base to go out and explore this 
spectacularly gorgeous area of BC. 
Hope to see you here.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1775495306"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</description>
