Berlin Wrestling Camp

6th - 9th June 2002 @ The Castle Out Buildings, East Berlin

On invitation from the Berlin Wrestling fraternity, Jek and Steve travelled over to spend the weekend training, learning and fostering relations on behalf of our club. Over 60 wrestlers mainly from Europe (Germany, Spain, France & Britain) and America including Kevin from the Philadelphia circuit attended the camp. Using the fully renovated outbuildings of a medieval castle now a luxurious hotel, boasting a huge oak panelled hall with numerous workshops, various living accommodations and a communal eating area serving the best health conscious food ever tasted washed down with delicious German brew and wine, all at fantastic economical prices compared to London!. Apart from learning German and a few useful training drills and techniques, much co-operation has been generated to benefit both clubs.

Midlands Invitational

2nd March 2002 @ The Lea Green Sports Centre, Nr. Matlock, Derbyshire

1st Commonwealth Games (England) Qualifying Competition

Saturday, 19th January 2002 @ The Wrestling Academy, Salford

The club's A squad travelled up and was hosted by Paul B of our Manchester group for this auspicious event. It was unfortunate that on the night prior to the competition during the weigh-in, the competitors were informed of the revised weight-classes. This caused much disorientation amongst competitors who had trained towards the top of their individual targeted weight-classes. Most competitors had to resort to last-minute weight-loss activities just to make their weight and the unfortunate ones had to move up which greatly disadvantaged their position.

British Seniors Championships

June 2000 @ Birmingham Leisure Centre UK

This year's event drew an average turnout with the usual medallists the likes of ThomasC, PaulS, JohnM and FarshadM back to defend their British titles. This year's event raised the roof with increased tension in a bout between wrestlers from the Manchester and Kensington (London) clubs which caused a furore due to a deciding point being awarded for a controversial "control position". This caused the team and supporters from the Kensington club to walk out in protest and missed the medal ceremony. Another incident saw a wrestler being disqualified for allegedly punching the back of his opponent's head!

Well done guys.
