"We once saw a fish thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis big!"

They came, they saw (and laughed), they conquered.
The ILO/UNEP/and I don't know who else's 3rd place team.
Back row: Marianne, Hilary, Alison, Marci, Aase
Front row: Cicely, Emily, Nghia, Mary

We actually had a picture of our men's team on their own but our photographer
(or whoever he claimed to be) destroyed the film and had to take another
picture of the two teams.
The question is, did we beat this team?
The answer is, we most certainly did...not!
Back row: Leo, Emmanuel, Arne, Raul, Binod, Jean-Louis, Mounir
Front row: Alex, Laszlo
I have absolutely no clue who the men in red are.

Cicely: "I can't quite reach it...."

Aase preparing her attack.

Marianne going up for the block with Nghia covering...and Alison trying to walk like a duck.

Getting ready for a serve reception.

Everyone's admiring Aase's reception.

"My hand goes on top."
"No, MY hand goes on top."
"Hey, get your sweaty hand off mine..."

Alison: "Now if I could just bang their heads together...."

Having cruised to a place in the semi-finals, Marci, Mary, Hil and Alison have a laugh while watching the men's team...

Alex: "Ok, everybody now....Y...M...C...A...."

Hil, Alex and Alison at the end of the Games.

Nghia, Emmanuel, Aase, Cicely and Emily.

Hil, Binod and Leo chilling out over a delicious meal.

Is it me or are Mary and Hil getting stabbed in the head by the monks behind
them? Either way, Alex looks well protected.

Bjørn: "Leo and I have been talking and we reckon this will come in handy during the game tomorrow..."
Arne looks on approvingly.

Bjørn: "You see, it's a very neat trick: when I put my thumb in my mouth, you all smile."
PF looks on with pride, thinking "I taught him that one."

Marianne, Marci and ... Aase on her way down.

Barbara, Marci and Aase at the Gala Dinner at the end of the Games.

Here's a great shot of Emmanuel, our coach, on one of his better days. If this
isn't proof that he's our "Coach and (tor)Mentor", I don't know what is! Nghia and Alison courageously pose with him.

Living it up with the UN men's team.

This is just a random shot of some of the team from a tournament we were
invited to last year.
Back row: Alex, Koni, Aase
Front row: Barbara, Irma, Hilary
