René Prin-Abeil did like the throwers meeting 2004 so much that he took it up to organise one this year himself. Thank you very much, René and helpers!
The contest area some minutes from Marseille is situated in an idyllic spot, from the manor where the throwers were accommodated one had a terrific view on to the aqueduct of Roquefavour.
Except for the distance event, all disciplines were conducted on Saturday, who pleased us with sun all day long, with only a little shower in the morning. The 19 participating throwers and the accompanying crowd were righteously tired in the evening when we gathered for a meal in the knight hall, but despite this many discussions on the rules ensued: the rule on zones for the distance event (see meeting PullmanCity 2005) was used for the first time, and some throwers had good arguments why the zones should be separated from the distance event. The new knives 7m event was received rather well with 13 participants. The European Throwing Club "Flying Blades" (Eurothrowers) presented himself and could gain some new members, among others Christian Avakian, who produces a throwing knife well known in France. The two authors Michel Dujay (video) and Gérard Lecoeur (book) were also present.
On Sunday, the targets were disassembled together, also the target wall of Christian Buttarello, a hobby axe thrower who offers professional shows. But before this, there was of course plenty of time for free throwing, that is regarding other throwers and getting tips from them. For many, this was the most important time of the meeting.

I had very much fun and hope that next year, I will be able to go again to a meeting in France!
