skr 1 #2 November 7, 2011 Is this the same Jon Butterworth that was jumping in the late 60's? One of the organizers of the first world 10-man star meet in 1970? I'm not on facebook so I can't see that page. Skr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obelixtim 99 #4 November 9, 2011 JB had been around for a while when I first started. He did a lot of judging at nationals towards the end of his career. That 10 way meet was talked about quite a bit back in the day when getting a 10 way together was a big deal. We must be getting old.....My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always meant to get back down there but it never worked out. > Obelixtim: That 10 way meet was talked about quite a bit back in the day when getting a 10 way together was a big deal. It felt like a big deal. They invited every country that had made a 10-man, and some kind of connection between us all was formed. Funny that it was 4 Commonwealth countries and one renegade colony. I used to wonder if that said something about the British spirit. There had been talk of some kind of world meet but New Zealand was the one that did it.
