26/07/2012 - 30/07/2012 - Let the Games commence


The extended Balfour crew at Excel for some weightlifting


Where should I put these
76 boxes sir?
Best man locked in!

After landing in Plymouth, we headed straight to Torquay for a quick stopover (and some fridge raiding – thanks again M&D Balfour!). Also timed it to perfection in that our Australian shipment arrived that day – all 76 boxes of it! Still not quite sure how we brought back that much…









Catching up with familiar faces at Trinity Church Square
Ministry of Sound -
not everyone was impressed
with the worm...
Didn’t have too long to sort it out, other than count the boxes, as we had an Olympic opening ceremony party to attend! Cheers for the hospitality Dave and Mairead, was a fun evening and great to catch up with so many friends from the past. Not sure the trip to Ministry of Sound was really required, but despite Annaliza going missing for a while it was a top night!
Getting into the
Olympic Spirit
Getting fit (or dreaming of!)
with Wenlock

Watching the show with a multitude of
Londoners in Hyde Park


Wouldn't want to go toe to
toe with these ladies!
Taking table tennis to new levels
The next few days were the real start of the Olympics for us - despite missing the cycling road race we saw a world record in the women’s 56kg weightlifting and some frankly ridiculous rallies in the table tennis!
