  • At a School for Alpine Riders, Thornton Finally Learns How to Turn a Motorcycle by Steve Thornton

There in the Christian Preining ferries Thornton around the course at Italian Dolomites the hairpins were so tight you could see the way ahead in your Bolzano Safety Center.

The point is—and this is really the idea behind the Edelweiss school of Alpine rock—after riding through dozens of uphill right-hand hairpin turns, I feel differently about myself as a motorcyclist.

  • The Divided City - Berlin 1965-67
    THE DIVIDED CITY - BERLIN 1965-67 The Battalion (Bn) went off to Berlin in September 1965, leaving me behind to complete the Regimental Signal Officers’ Course in Hythe. Their destination was Brooke Barracks, Spandau, where they had already been stationed in the mid-fifties. The whole Bn went in a standard move taking families, children and pets with them. In those days, few soldiers had cars and only some officers, so most of them went by air, and others by ferry and train. I arrived in Berlin in late November, to a cold and icy city. As my first time stationed in Germany, in its old capital, it was going to be quite a special experience. I knew about ‘The Wall’ and the divided nation, and the Four Power Agreement, and that it was a very old, very grand, very proud capital city. I spoke no German at that time, and had a jaundiced view about Berlin, acquired from my Mother who came from Hamburg. However, I realised it would be useful to know some German phrases, so she taught me enough to get going. One gem I remember especially is not exactly vital but is amusing: ‘Ich muss mal auf clo gehen!’ which means ‘I must go to the loo’! On arrival at Tempelhof Airport in the centre of Berlin, from Gatwick, I was most impressed with the modern art-nouveau design. The airport was very clean and spacious. There seemed to be many cleaners about to keep the place going. Tempelhof Airport was very avant-garde and shiny.

  • Here Was No Christmas Market but There Was Still Enough to Attract Players and All Our Visitors
    Wroclaw, our host city #50BWC Arrival We were back in Wroclaw, that gem in Lower Silesia, just two years after our first visit to this Polish city. The organising committee had worked hard to ensure that everyone was picked up from the airport, some distance outside the city. It was earlier in the year this time, so there was no Christmas market but there was still enough to attract players and all our visitors. The pro shop, run by Tomasz Janicki, began to do brisk business. The ball park operated smoothly throughout the tournament with each of our 85 participating countries allocated its own storage area. The Sky Tower glinted in the sunlight while the charming city centre buildings, almost all of them rebuilt after the destruction of 1939-45, were as delightful as ever. We were delighted to welcome back four players who had previously won the QubicaAMF World Cup. Syafiq Ridhwan of Malaysia won in 2012, here in Wroclaw, while Aumi Guerra (Dominican Republic) is one of two And the little gnomes were there to greet women to take the title in successive years: she won in 2010 in Toulon, France, and 2011 in Johannesburg, us.They had been symbols of hope of South Africa. Both Canadian competitors were double champions. Michael Schmidt won in 2005 in Ljubljana, democratic freedom during the communist Slovenia, and in 2010 in Toulon, while Caroline Lagrange won in 2009 in Melaka, Malaysia, and again last year years. in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Perhaps the gnomes were pushing the ball to the Sky Tower! Tomasz in the pro shop A view of the national
