JWOC Selections

Hardluck to all those who haven't made it, I know you'll be gutted as your summer hopes have been ruined. I just hope that you received some form of communication from BOF. Rather than the slap in the face that they got last year

I have to say it was with great relief that I read this post.
I was beginning to get worried that we would have a whole thread with only positive comment and no digs at BOF whatsoever.

Dear Mr. Kitchin,

It is with great regret that I write to inform you that you have not been selected for the JWOC team. It was a very difficult decision, but after considering a number of factors, in you case age and failure to appear at the selection races in Oban, the selectors decided that your case was not sufficiently strong to select you.

I apologise again for what must be a great disappointment to you, and hope you will be more successful in future,

BOF Selector.

Now, just another thousand or so and I can get back to work.

I happen to agree with Hocolite on this one. Very much so. I know it is difficult for them to decide where to draw the line for communication to borderline athletes but there was some BLATENT mistreatment last year.

[Kitch]

Last Year for crying out loud !

you can either:
bleat on about it and play the poor victim for the rest of your life.
or
forget about it and get on with things.

[Lizi Beee]

I have got on with it thank you. I just hope that they learnt from it like hoc said, and didn't deliver slap in the face style.

[Kitch]

great,

good for you.

didsco - i hear tom hart has offered to give party advice too, so you'll probably be out of a job. however the israeli team coach is rumoured to be attempting to censor any advice from the pocket dynamo.

Anyone else going straight to the o-ringen after jwoc?

[mharky]

The whole Swedish Team I imagine, they have been known to leave before the banquet to get back for the o-ringen...

By the way, I reckon boat is probably the best way to get there, then head up on the train

But there's a whole week between JWOC and the O-Ringen unless I am very much mistaken . . .I am watching JWOC and then heading across Europe for the O-Ringen. Haven't decided how to do it yet - may take a slight detour since there's a whole week to do it in.

ryanair fly from Kaunas to Stockholm (ish). A scabby old boat goes from Klaipeda to Karshalm & a nice newer Tallink boat now goes from Riga to Stockholm....
