Alongside the Luxury coaches of Bristol, Exeter and Cardiff were parked a couple of VW Camper vans bursting with bikini clad surf babes, it was good to see Plymouth were back.

Kings Western League have nick-named themselves the Great Western League having won 5 of the Last 8 National Titles. The region which covers Wales and the South West of England has been dominated by Bristol University Ski Club which is the most successful Club in Kings Ski Club 30 year History.
