**Bruno Yamashita** · 07-07-2010, 09:05

I am checking if there is a possibility for the fighters to sleep over at the hall, where the tournment takes place. Is anybody interested? We need to know because place is limited.

Cheers!

Bruno

**PinPoint** · 07-07-2010, 19:47

This would be very nice indeed!

Last time I checked this was not on the website?

**Bruno Yamashita** · 08-07-2010, 15:26

Cheers!

Any brown/black belts light weight thinking of joining? I need to know because if there are enough guys a special guest from the UK might be joining the tournament depending on the number of participants in his category. Thanks for getting back to me!

**Vision** · 16-07-2010, 22:58

A special guest from the UK?
Let's see, hmm... Braulio Estima, Victor Estima or Roger Gracie?
Who else is in the UK at the moment?

Brown Belt light weight that has not been named yet. I'm thinking of Oliver Geddes!?

**Bruno Yamashita** · 17-07-2010, 20:42

Guys, it is not about guessing here

. The name will be revealled once there are enough fighters in the weight category...

**Vision** · 17-07-2010, 23:49

Well, if your plans change you should definitely come. Oli Geddes just confirmed his participation!

**PinPoint** · 21-07-2010, 10:55

What about sleeping at the location? Any news on that?

@Vision; Andere plannen? nah....

Jep, Antiliaanse feesten in Hoogstraten is hetzelfde weekend.
Een heel weekend salsa, reggaeton, bachata, mooie vrouwen, ...
De boog kan niet altijd gespannen staan

Ok, the choice between either swinging around with beautiful women or grappling with sweaty men may not be difficult… Nevertheless, for your information, we will schedule the brown belt category early in the afternoon as Ollie needs to catch his plane on Saturday still. Maybe then you can go back to the festival on time with a medal around your neck, so that even more women will be impressed
