The 2013 First Tournament, the
inaugural event of the 1st & 4th Subbuteo Club
season, featured a first-time champion, HBT.
(If you were thinking Firewrists, then I suggest you go back to the beginning
of this blog and review the archives.) Your correspondent caught up with the
champ at an authentic New York coffee shop, Starbucks.
The 1st and 4th Subbuteo Club started several years ago and now claims members in four states. The largest tournaments are held on New Year's Day and Independence Day. Minor tournaments, like the tournament to raise awareness of overfed/obese cats, are held on other days throughout the year such as Memorial Day, Day of Perfect Light and Advent Day of Craft. The 1st and 4th Club Members are not chosen based on age, gender, race, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, however to be a member of the club, you must be in the top 500 on the club president's (Mark), Most Favorite People List. This excludes some people from the club. Contact the president directly to find out if you qualify.
