A
large group from the Golden Eagle TKD club descended to the hapless Spanish
city of Madrid for the world tkd championships.
From all accounts, it was a fantastic trip - great atmostphere, excellent
fights, explosive knockouts and the group even found time to do the touristy
things in Madrid. Check out the photos.

Hotel
We have booked 5 rooms at the hotel closest to the venue. It's also the
official hotel, so there should be lots of other people staying there
who will be at the competition.
Hotel Convencion, Calle de O'Donnell 53, Madrid
Each room has 2 separate beds, is non-smoking, and has bath or shower.
Price includes breakfast, and I have booked for Sean, Has, Jo, Albee,
Anna, Jerry, Stacey, Stacey's son Tony, Stacey's sister and myself.
It's a huge hotel, so rooms likely to be small and very standard. The
price works out at about £100 each (depends on exchange rates) for
3 nights including tax and breakfast.
Price is £106.
Event Tickets
I have bought 10 'season' tickets covering all the days we are there.
One for each of the people that are staying at the hotel, except Stacey's
sister. That ticket goes to David, who may be staying at the same hotel,
but will make his own arrangements.
They are not posting the tickets, but will send reference number so we
can collect them from the venue.
Price is £42.
Money
Flights were £99, hotel £106, and event tickets £42.
Total is £250.
