All present and correct at the airport, and on their way. Even went through Ryan Air check in smoothly!

Landed safely just getting bags

Obviously it's just architecture and fencers eating, but I'll add more each evening.

Thanks very much - really appreciated.

Helen.

Odd Job · -24th March 2010, 09:08 PM

Best of luck to all in Wratislava! Great to hear we have an excellent mole in Odd job. Do take care when you return to the airport. Mother of fencing guinea pig lost her personal allen key by not placing it in the luggage. Mind you the Vodka in the departure lounge made excellent gifts on return home. Just watch the taxi drivers who appear to have been disappointed by the fall of the wall that they never became MIG pilots......

Just want to say how much I admire Francois' signature.

ED_R · -25th March 2010, 08:42 AM

I won't post all the results as the Challenge Wratislavia website provides such a good results service, but - well done to the two girls who made it to the L16 in this extremely large (128 U-15s, 131 U-13s) and difficult competition:-

Georgia Pipes - 14th in the U15 comp, and

Lydia Stanier - 13th in the U13 comp.

Well done to them and to all the competitors.

Helen.

Hello all. Excellent day's fencing. I've added photographs from today to this page:

The girls are being rewarded with a trip to an ice cream parlour tonight while we 'motivate' the boys to do even better.

More tomorrow evening after the boys' event.

Many thanks to Odd Job who kept parents up to date with the results after each fight using Twitter.

Well done to Team Newcastle's Matthew Dickinson - 6th in the Under11's - his first foreign.

Brilliant results all round. Special mention to Dan McGlade for losing a poule fight 5-4 by hitting himself on the foot…
