On the 28th November we're holding 2 tournaments, 1 of which is open to the Nation. We're holding the both tournaments in the same building and in the same venue just because we like a challenge haha! Besides some political hic-cups and red tape I refuse to see, we're pretty much all set to go! I've paid everybody from the Medics to the crowd control. We're anticipating (from the e.mails of interest we've had) between 200-300 people inc competitiors turning up. I searched the Nation for a company who hired out crowd control barriers, as it turns out theres was a company in my villiage who hires them out, you can even see the company from my bedroom window. Typical in it! I have a team of people working in the leisure centres, they've all collected their dojo mats and assembled them ready in our venue.

My moto it, 'Expect nothing - Be prepared for EVERYTHING'.
...All I need to do now is to concentrate on me and get my operation out of the way this tuesday. Im in ward b2 btw mom. send me some grapes lol. x
It's funny to me how in Great Britain grapes are the traditional thing to take to folks in the hospital. Oh, excuse me: IN HOSPITAL, not In THE Hospital, as we say it over here. I don't think Americans have a traditional thing to take there, except maybe flowers and magazines, and even that is not consistent.
