The Chippewa Train arrives in London - briefly.

Last month a brief, but fun, unofficial Chippewa rendezvous hit the shores of our Island Nation.

Long-time Chippewa Alum, Charles B (1990's) stopped off on his way from doing business somewhere in Europe for a couple of nights of fun in London - meeting up with Roger C (1990's), Jim F (2000's) and me (2000's).

As with all good Chippewans, the theme of the weekend had to be sport and competition - Friday night saw us in Central London for a spot of cricket - always a fun sight to see England winning, even more fun when trying to explain the rules of cricket to a foreign guest - apparently several 'ground rule doubles' were scored? We even managed an appearance on live TV.

Saturday brought more sports - following a morning of rugby (another England win), we headed to north London for a football match (ok, ok, soccer match) courtesy of Roger C.

So wherever you are in the world, have a look, you might find a Chippewa Alum or two

Chippewa's Brain Trust all in one place? How did the UK survive? That was the creme of the crop, wish we could have been there. JP and Cammy
