That is such a cop out. I noticed no comment box on the WWW site or full version available here ! Good grief !

Well done for putting these events on. People attend, numbers vary, value varies, failures we should learn from and successes build to more successes. View it as a long term commitment to improving...

ITA attacks almost short lunge like(?), on foot fall attack finishes (ref thinks?), ITA establishes line, GB initiates attack without taking ITA blade (this is the dodgey bit) but ITA moves the point...

It was great to watch key matches in this competition streamed .. however to those that circulate at the heady heights it would be great if we can see them in HD when at all possible. Cost...

Your breeches ... my tunic, the zip is misbehaving in synchrony with my tummy (a new one is on my Xmas list to myself) :eek:

There's a new company (Fran, Ken and Stein) does a great line in affordable arm extensions for your epee problem against tall people. Good luck ;-)

Anyone wish to comment on the following:-

Korean successes compared to Aussie and Kiwi's appearance on the world stage. Does this throw any light on the GB problem. Is it just coaches??
