Bluewater International.
April 16th 2001
Wonderful Occasion:
The excitement is growing with just about eight weeks to our first
ever Bluewater International.
Bringing this level of competition to Canada and to our own region
should be of great interest to the public and a real lift for the
sport. With the Swiss who are number one in the World, Latvia close
behind plus Germany and our friends from the U.S.A. sending teams,
this should make for good tug-of-war. The choice of venue is an
excellent one with all the facilities right on the grounds. We will
be able to accommodate the teams, provide meals and entertainment
without having to use transportation.
The Bluewater club has worked hard over the last few years to improve
our teams and to give the sport as high a profile as is possible in
Canada. The reward for this is that other countries are now willing
to come here and compete against our teams. Personally I believe that
Canada can one day win a World Championship if we continue to compete
against the best and improve our teams. To do this demands a lot of
dedication and a close alliance to the believes and ideals of our
International body TWIF. The club is preparing diligently for this
event and with half our team under eighteen we want to get the most
we can from this experience.
On the 16th and 17th of June at Centralia in Southern Ontario
we are going to have a lot of fun doing what we love to do pull
tug-of-war. We hope that the public will come out and enjoy the sport
at this level. This is a rare opportunity to do this with teams from
around the world.
Jim Connolly, Coach.
