Hi everyone
I have been playing FOG tournaments in the UK for the last year and am hoping to broaden my horizons next year with a trip to the IWF 2010 in Athens.
I'd like to go and spend a few days either side of the tournament seeing the sights and wondered if there is anyone from the North East of England going with a similar idea.

There are certainly people from the North West going if you want to go that way.
I know Phil Powell is going and I really want to go, but am still deciding... Since I have been before then I would not be doing a massive amount of sightseeing, but I would want to climb up to the acropolis to see how it is getting on - the view is superb.

I didn't get to see much last time. Mainly the inside of bars. And the Acropolis was shut on the monday 'cos they were on strike.

Too busy hiding from the creature from the black lagoon IIRC ...

From what I remember she was a bit of a looker. At least I didn't try to get in on the action in someone elses bedroom.

She was indeed a bit of a looker. As in "look out, she's turned up at the venue".
And tried does not mean suceeded, for which we should all be thankful.
