Modern Pentathlon World Cup

Two of Clevedon's finest participated at the Modern Pentathlon World Cup at Millfield School at the weekend! Mo Hutchinson and Graham Feboul were drafted in as Timekeepers for the swimming portion of the competition and had a most enjoyable time seeing another sport, at the highest level, from a close distance. Graham sat and passed a Swimming Judge examination that gave him international accreditation to officiate at any Modern Pentathlon in the World. Bejiing here we come!
