Day 7: Rest Day

So, at exactly this time last week I was running down Myton road with a fire on the end of a stick being cheered on by thousands of people...

...instead, I'm now sat eating strawberries and watching the Wimbledon with Murray being cheered on by millions (and a few Federer fans!).

Sunday very much is a day of rest, the torch has taken a day off it's mini-tour too.

Days 5 & 6: Whitnash

Mikey P returning the torch after it made an appearance at Whitnash Summer Fete...

...and here's the rather cool looking Aoife with the torch outside St. Joseph's Primary in Whitnash...

...also, got a great card from the kids at Barford Nursery...

...thanking me for bringing the torch in to show them.

Day 4: Leamington and Barford

Colleague and proud parent outside daughter's school...

...the students from which were making their own Olympic Torches today!

They were also making their own torches at Beehive Nursery in Barford...

...all of the kids loved comparing their torches with this one.

The torch then finished it's day at the Bowling Green Badminton Club AGM.

Thanks to all who very kindly donated to Cancer Research UK.

Day 3: Leamington Badminton Club

Day 3 for Torch #128 and it's mini-relay. Today it visited Leamington Badminton Club.

It's in the safe hands of LBC Chairman, Nic Lee.

Day 2: The Torch visits The Office

Day 2 for Torch #128.

Following the jaunt down Myton Road and the Moorings Pub on Day 1, the torch visits AMEC for a tour of the Design Studio...

...the boss gets his hands on the torch...

...be sure to follow Torch #128 on it's mini-relay around Warwickshire.

The Olympic Torch in Warwickshire

Well, yesterday was lots of fun, I ran down Myton Road in Warwick with some fire...

...had my own hand-picked body guards...

...and then had a pint afterwards in the Moorings, raising money for Cancer Research UK.

Thanks to Naomi for collecting those pennies, and to all who come along and supported on the day!

Visit the theatre in Leamington...

Fancy the theatre, then why not head to The Loft in Leamington on Thursday 19th July

What will the new season bring...?

Not really been on here for a while, well, ages actually.

Been playing more badminton than ultimate recently.

Although had our Lemmings AGM the other week, got a new young exec in to shake things up a bit, quite looking forward to next season now.

Plus we may get a new shiny kit.

This post was mostly written whilst getting excited about it being Friday Eve!

Broadside 2010

Broadside 2010 is this weekend, it's the first proper outdoor tournament I've done. I've done several indoor tournaments and a couple outdoor hat tournaments, but not a 'proper' outdoor tournament.

It should be pretty good I hope, we've found an ace venue, and have got some great teams coming along.

Local side, the Leamington Lemmings will be looking to make an impact on the tournament. I've got to plump for a Fire 2 and Tooting Tigers 1-2, but I'm still not sure in which order. Fire 2 have got some reinforcements in some EMO players not on the plane to Prague.

We'll be 'tweeting' the results, using #broadside2010 alternatively, these will auto update on the Broadside 2010 website: http://www.broadsidetournament.webs.com
