More from the exciting file marked 'industry associations'. The trade organisation for the biggest venues in Europe - the European Arenas Association - has appointed a new board.
The EAA exists to represent the interests of major arena venues, and currently has 23 members in 18 countries across Europe. Representatives from some of those venues make up the Association's board.
The latest reshuffle follows the departure of Stockholm Globe Arena's Stefan Holmgren, who was EAA President but has now chosen to retire from the organisation. He is replaced in the top job by the group's former Vice-President, Wilfrid Spronk, who is MD of Munich's Olympiapark/Olymiahalle.
Both of the UK's EAA member arenas are now represented on the board. Linda Barrow of Birmingham's NEC becomes Vice President, while Peter Tudor, who heads up sales and marketing at London's Wembley Arena, becomes Honorary Secretary and Treasurer.
Finally, Marco Pontini, who represents both the Milan Forum and Rome's PalaLottomatica, has become second Vice-President.
