What a brilliant concept for those of us 'who are a little longer in the tooth'!
Unfortunately, I found out about the games way too late for this years' edition in Torino, and Japan 2021 is just too much of a journey to contemplate seriously. That leaves the 2023 European Masters in Tampere, Finland as the first, perhaps the only, opportunity I'll get to take part.
So, this thread, which I hope will grow into a resource for all those tempted by the idea of a huge international festival of sports 'for the more mature athlete'
I'll post what I come across, and urge anyone else to contribute where they can, whether that be up-to-date info or valuable experience from previous events.
Let's start with a nice pretty map of the area and a couple of links to general info about Tampere, shall we?

Hmm, seems I can fly to Helsinki from Newcastle - via AMSTERDAM! This idea is looking better & better
