It's that time again!
Team of 10 or so of us going out to Spain tomorrow (Thurs) representing Great Britain for the 2009 European Savate Kickboxing Championships.
For those not already in the know here's quite a fun high-lights vid:

I'm personally hoping to retain (or ideally better!) my 2007 Silver medal in the 70-75kg category.
Only just finished packing- bed time! 
Seeya when I get back! (assuming I'm substantially intact! ).
James
All the best Dude, hope to see you back on here in one piece.
Have fun!
Good luck.
Pity it's the same time as the Clash of the Titans, would be interesting to see a team of yours there.
I'm sure you'll beat that big scary French bloke this time mate
Best of luck to ya!
I hope you kick ass (and other body parts).
Good luck.
Good Luck James, hope to see the results posted here as soon as you win!!
break a leg!
Ideally someone elses 
News flash from James in Spain
Both James and his better half, Rach have made the final!
Both have France to beat........
Go James (and Rach).......Go.....
Fingers crossed.....will update when I get news....
Fozzie 
oh - my - god
I saw this thread updated and thought ... eeek, oh no.
then i saw it was Fozzie and thought .... hmmmm.
and WOOOHOOOOO
Good luck to the both of you, kick French ass!
Sorry to panic you Mike..... 
I've heard from James again, and the final is this evening about 7pm our time, although he doesn't expect to start his fight until around
8pm (uk time)......
Fozzie
Is it sad to be sat here thinking - if i delay going out i could get to see the result of the fight?
Errrm i mean see who stays in Strictly come dancing
As soon as I hear I will either post here or start a new thread........go and have fun....
I have just given him and Rach, the encouraging 'pep' talk ... LOL ......
Fozzie (pacing the floor)
Nothing heard
By this time, whatever the outcome, they are probably propping up a bar or three
Fozzie
Just heard from James.....
Rach's fight resulted in a draw from all 5 judges, so it went to the ring official to decide, and it went to France, so Rach got the Silver......
James said he had a good fight, and fought well, but the decision went to France.... So, also a Silver for James.....
No doubt he will tell you all more about it when he gets back...
Fozzie
I stayed up till 12:15 hoping for a reply!
VERY well done to the two of you and bad luck on the obviously biased official!!!!!
Hope you both enjoyed the championships and the bruises aren't too bad.
Maybe James could become an Assistant Admin to help fozzie out. A sort of 'wait till your farther gets home' threat ..... although this will
be 'wait till bloke with silver medals in kicking ass gets here & if you even think of getting cheeky with him, you wait till you meet his
misses'
LOL Mike.......
No..... I can hold my 'own corner' thanks!....
It wouldn't worry me if I had to put 'our' James on the 'naughty step', should the need arise....European Silver Medallist or
not..!..
Probably goes with, that in my past, always working with guys in a tough world......
and having a dad who was a heavy-weight boxer......
Fozzie
Thanks for updating everyone Foz!
