I would have booked when you first posted about it, but flights were pretty expensive then and fortunately have come down a lot. I sent him an email a couple days ago asking about the hotel, no response yet. I'll try adding him on whatsapp, thanks!

Unfortunately I won’t be making it there again this year . I have 2 weddings that are scheduled the exact dates of the competition and I’m not able to get out of either . Next year 2026 I might hold an event in Australia in December if I can get something put together. . And I’m also interested in attending one of the events either the heritage cup in guam in march 2026, Down south slinging contest 3 in may , goobers distance event , the Mallorcan open competition or the World Cup in Ibiza.
There’s almost a world tour going now .

I'd totally be game for some down-under slinging next year though! Although I'm not sure how well I'd do slinging upside-down

He is a 'fly by the seat of the pants' kinda guy. He'll send details absolutely last minute. Seems like it is hit or miss if he is organized or not. I think 2024 and 2022 was better than 2023.

I'm all good as long as we'll have a hotel to go to, the rest I'm happy to do off the cuff. Gotta have somewhere to sleep!

In 2023, I landed in Ibiza not knowing where I was staying, or how I was to get there. Roll Eyes

Live in the present, and it’ll turn out fine.

Are there wombats in the territory you plan on hosting in? If I go to Australia, "meet a wombat" will need to be crossed off the bucket list before I leave.

Wanted to make it out to the world's this year, but I still need more practice.

Add Hawai'i to the world tour in the near future.

As I understand it Wom is a sport played by people with sufficent time and intellect to understand the incredibly lengthy and hoplessly convoluted rules e.g.
" players may only take a tea break when the opposing team is constructing or has constructed their Matilda wither. Said tea may only be brewed in a standard issue billie. Choice of heating method is at the brewers discretion but should this entail conflagrations which accidentally (or deliberately) destroy any of the opposing teams offensive or defensive structures the match will be forfeit"

I understand the rules about bats are as complex as American baseball rules have been.

Good luck.

😁👍
