Lunch, Gold and Silver

Today we were invited to lunch by the Australian Team from NSWIS. We had a fabulous range of  pizzas and garlic bread in the Princess Of Wales. I was particularly impressed with the coffee after lunch.

Whilst we were eating we were delighted to watch Team GB storm home to win gold and silver in the canoe slalom at Lea Valley. Even the Australians congratulated us!

Summer 2012

Summer is finally here along with the Olympic Games and all the controls on the river and roads. Down on Challenge we are hosting a number of trainers and staff from the New South Wales Institute of Sport, (NSWIS).

They are obviously having a fantastic time on Challenge as we are just up river from the stadium and have secured for them a number of bikes. Most importantly for a beer loving nation, we are right outside the newly refurbished Princess of Wales Pub that is serving fantastic food and beer!

The boat is flying its full regalia, including the Australian Flag. For the moment they are leading Team GB in the medals table, but that could change as we have now broken the ice.
