That's my dad winning the senior grand master class at the world's in Kelowna, Canada 2008! He's still the best but hasn't been since. I'll get him to go this year as I might decide to go too!

British airways are offering flights from London to Sao Paulo, for £411 return per adult, leaving on the 7th, returning on the 17th. Hotels are slightly more, but that's because i'm going for 10 days.

Nice! I'd like to go for 10 days too. It's the only way to do it!

I'd rather do 6th - 16th as all the teams will leave on the Sunday

The flights are more expensive coming back on the Sunday, that's why i'm booking for the Monday. And it means you get a bit more time to sort out packing and recover a little more from the Saturdays' pulling.

When looking at flights to Brazil, you may want to consider flying via Spain. There's many flights that go to south america via madrid...cheaper than direct!

Thanks Anthony. The only issue with this one is getting to Spain by EasyJet or something means taking little luggage...

I've used Easyjet quite a few times for overseas shows with my band when we've had to take a lot of equipment with us; you can almost always take as heavy as possible a bag on the plane with you (provided it fits in the bag template they have, a normal rucksack rammed full will) and then you can have 2 items of hold luggage up to a combined weight of 20kg, so plenty of weight.

I will be attending and pulling the 90s this year this is no banter no joke, i will be willing to pull anybody at around 95 in june or so for the right to claim 1 of the places i plan on taking the class apart

I've got an 8 man battle ground in June, which I plan to be weighing 96-97 for, don't know if i'll have much arm left for you after I win though, perhaps we could have something set up for July?

Whatever suits really I should imagine there will be a few people fighting for that spot
