Over the weekend of the 13th and 14th August the Tiger A and B teams, plus their support teams, made the trek down to London to take part in the world renowned London International.

The B-team

The A-team

After the lootings of the previous days no sight of the troubles was evident until the Tigers turned up and had to break into Rhi’s car after the car keys were locked in the boot - great birthday present for Rhi!  The AA had lots of volunteers to give him advice of what to do and to have a go.  We had to persuade Tonksie to go get ready for his game after he announced he was having too much fun!  Maybe a change of career or pastime is in order?  Finally access was granted and Scott and Matt could wear their own canoe kit!
To the actual canoeing, and both teams had mixed performances but in the end the A team ended in 5th place (out of 10) in Div 1 and the B team 10th (out of 20) in Div 2.  So a pretty average result for both teams! 
There were lots of Tiger birthdays to celebrate over the, as always, excellent Meridian BBQ on the Saturday night so we were able to have the usual good team weekend away.
