IslandStats.com
Almost two years ago the membership of the International Island Games Association unanimously chose Bermuda as the host island for the Island Games in 2013. It will be the first time this growing event will take place on the other side of the Atlantic.

Delegates from the 23 of the 25 Member Islands attended that AGM on June 28th, 2008 in the Parliament building in Mariehamn, Aland, and heard the presentation from the Bid Committee of Bermuda, the only bidding island since Prince Edward Island decided to withdraw their bid earlier this year.

IGA Chairman, Jorgen Pettersson, said that although Bermuda did not have any opposition for the Bid to Host 2013 Island Games they will still have to deliver great Games.

The Bermuda contingent is expected to be present at the AGM on 27th June games venue will be decided.

The two countries bidding to host are Gotland and Jersey.

The 2013 games are just around the corner for Bermuda with still a few venues and sports to be decided, as the Isle of Wight 2011 Games are all but set.
