The whole crew - front left our very special guest from Hong Kong - Leo Tse - playing his first ever Subbuteo (having been a collector for some years). He enjoyed the event very much and played remarkably well for someone who has only learnt from watching videos online. In the Liverpool shirt the inimitable Jason Christopher - many thanks for Jason for coming all the way from Liverpool - sorry I mean Southampton - to support the event. And 4th in the back row Richard Myers - a visitor from the recently formed That Retro Place club in Caterham - thank you Richard! (report by Simon goodman)

London, June 16 2024 (group format)
"On Sunday 16 June we had a fabulous day playing an old rules World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association (WASPA) organised by the London Subbuteo Club at La Pizzica Restaurant - London. Congratulations to the winner Tony Kiely and to the runner up Jason Christopher. Tony Banks performed well with a third place and John Subbuteocollector recorded a respectable 4th place. We played a league with 2 points for a win as it is old. We recorded results on a piece of paper and make the table on a piece of cardboard with adding a “x” for each point in true old school style but to prevent a headache for the dear Vincent Coppenolle I tidied all up and typed up later! Many happy flicks" (report by Gianluca Zucchelli)
