Oh - a misunderstanding on my part then, I thought ARMA Sweden was the same as http://www.slipad.se/

My mistake! I'll add your link as soon as I can,

Best regards (and say hi to Todd Tornquist if you know him - he trained with us while he was living in London),

Aaah, NP. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

ARMA Sweden is separate entity independent from HFS.

We'll send your greetings to Todd.

Best regards,
Joachim

p.s. It would be great if you guys could make it to our annual event in Dijon (France) next May. We have people come from all over Europe, and the more different groups can be there the more interesting it is! Last year Anders Linnard and his guys from Gothenburg came for the first time and I'll guess they'll be at the next one <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Yeah, it would be great fun to come to Dijon. We'll rally the troops and try to arrange something. <img src="/forum/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, the GHFS and Schola G have hit each other with fervour on a number of occasions <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />
