Belgium Armwrestling Challenge 1998

Dear Wrestlers,

United States ArmSports would like to invite you to attend the 7th Annual International Armwrestling Challenge in Rochefort, Belgium July 31, 1998 & August 1, 1998.  You may attend this tournament with this invitation only and be a member of Team USA Armwrestling 1998. We will be leaving on Wednesday July 29th and return on Thursday August 6th, 1997.  This tournament is a wonderful event and is made even more exciting as we will be spending 4 nights in Belgium and also 4 nights in Paris, France.   The total cost for this trip including airfare (from your nearest airport), health insurance, Room & Board, and entry fees will be less than $2000.00.  We expect a lot of interest in attending this tournament so will have to limit the number of Team Members to 30 so you need to mail in your deposit as soon as you decide to attend.  Your $200.00 deposit is due on November 15, 1997 to insure you have a spot on the Team.  The cost of the trip also includes travel from Belgium to Paris on the Bullet Train which travels 186 miles per hour.  Dave Devoto spent 16 days in Paris last August and will act as tour director.  We are all working together to make our time there an exceptional experience.  All arrangements for this trip will be handled by the United States Armwrestling Association.  Rochefort, Belgium is a "fairy tale village" where Dave spent 3 days in August 1997 at this tournament.  He says the trip was one of the most enjoyable times he had ever experienced and the tournament was filled with great people and wonderful hospitality.  Over 200 contestants and 14 countries were in attendance but unfortunately United States competitors were not represented.  In 1998 we will have a great Team USA with many exceptional athletes to compete in this tournament.  The "I support" program of selling T-shirts & sweatshirts is available for this tournament and the gear will have the United States ArmSports logo printed on them.  This program makes it easy for anyone who would like to attend to earn the money.  Attached to this invitation is an "I Support" order form to get you started . Official Team Gear with the United States ArmSports logo will be available when you have sent in your deposit.  ONLY ACTUAL TEAM MEMBERS may purchase and wear Team Gear.  Also attached to this letter of invitation is the tournament information so you can make plans as to which weight classes you may want to prepare for.

This tournament, and the "Gold Bear" International Armwrestling Championships, are wonderful opportunities to compete in exceptional tournaments and also see parts of the World you may never have the opportunity to see.  We always have a great time and make life-long friends with other Americans and those from many other countries.  Dave Devoto, President of the World's Wristwrestling Championships and Leonard Harkless, President of the United States Armwrestling Assoc. encourage you to attend this tournament and be a part of Team USA.  Denise Wattles will be the Team Manager organizing all the arrangements for your flights and accommodations.  If you have any questions you can call Denise at (406)248-4508. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Dave Devoto,  Leonard Harkless,  Denise Wattles
