Was it to be third time lucky for the team I had assembled together, for this years assault on the “International Tournament of Pays de la Loire”, held in the beautiful city of Nantes, France !

Held in the awesome venue of “Complexe Sportif-Mangin Beaulieu”, this twenty four-table arena, which was host to the French junior championships in 1995 and 2000, was a superb place to play the event. London Progress players, Matt Ware and Garth Kinlocke, together with Hannah Hicks, were the english contingent of the team, together with, under 13 players, Karin Lundin, Albin Wemmert and Max Georgesson, all from Sweden, made up the “delegation”, playing under the banner of London Progress.
