We got to Romania about 2.30pm there time, Adrian met us at the airport with the coach to take us to the hotel, Man the hotel was very posh, we all went to our rooms to freshen up then we all met down stairs in the lobby and headed into town for a bit of sight seeing and shopping, had to get taxi back to hotel, we had a referees seminar to get to which started at 8.00pm.
At the Refs seminar we went through all the theory but we never had time for any practical which means the guys never get tested on any sparring but still qualified, interesting.
Went back to the hotel, all the kids were chilling in Sam, George and Patrick’s room. I sat in the bar sipping a few JDs and coke, chinwagging with Paul, Ben and John.

Patrick, George and Sam wanted to go to the fun fair so they could cause chaos on the bumper cars then Brandon decided he wanted to show all of us he could do summersaults on the trampoline. On the way back to the hotel we were passing the ball around which George bought, (trust Brandon to hit a car and set off the alarm)
We all met back at the hotel lobby to go to the venue for the weighing which went very well.
Went back to the hotel for some food, then it was time for the guys to turn in for the night.

Saturday 21st
Me and the girls got up, showered had breakfast, got on the coach which took us to the competition.
The competition was a little long winded due to the fact we were scratching around for refs, team GB done very well on the day taking away a lot of silver wear, team Watford proved that hard work really does pay with Brandon winning, Bronze in Light contact, Shannon, Gold in Semi contact, Natasha, Gold in both Light and Semi contact, Sam, Silver in Light and Gold in junior boys Semi contact and Gold in the men’s Semi, Patrick, Gold in Light and Semi, George, Gold in Light and Semi, John Gold in men’s Light and Semi.
Shannon, George and Patrick teamed up with Chappers and Rachel, from Centurion Martial Arts and won the junior teams.
Paul Smith, damaged his knee earlier in the individuals and was unable to take part in the adult teams which meant team GB was a fighter down, after a lot of persuasion and nagging from my girls and students I agreed to take Pauls place in the team which was really cool considering I haven’t fought for about four five years, we all won our fights and would have to fight the Romanians or the Bulgarians on Sunday in the final.
We stayed to support the guys competing in the forms who done very well taking a lot of Gold medals. We left the competition about 11.30pm. Headed back to the hotel had some food, sat in the bar had a few drinks then headed up to bed.
