To promote the exchange between axe- and knife throwers in Europe, the European Throwing Club Flying Blades (Eurothrowers) has established the "Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship". Every year, a different meeting in a different European country is designated to bear this title, the event is traditionally scheduled to be the annual meeting place for throwers from all over Europe.

To understand why the Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship is really the most important event for knife throwers and axe throwers each year, just read the reports about the last years' events.

In 2008, the event was held in Chomutov / Czech Republic, in 2009 in Villeflambeau, France, and in 2010 we will meet in Maniago, Italy.

10th Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship 2010, 21st/22nd of August, Maniago, Italy

The EuroThrowers are glad that in 2010 the 10th Big Throwers Meeting will for the first time be held as European Championship. Location is Maniago, north-eastern Italy. The local organiser is the Italian national throwing association, Associazione Lanciatori Sportivi Italia, headed by Americo Sabato.

The competition will take place on the same weekend as a big knife-festival in the knife-town of Maniago.

As rules, the European Standard Rules will be employed, but these are in the process of being changed for 2010 (see remark).

All further details will be published on this page in due time.
