The first jury meeting this season started with the meeting held for Jonas and from HBB jury were Sven Berggren, Jim Danielsson, Magnus Fischer and Thorvald Nielsen also as photographer present.

In concentrated expectation Jonas prepared himself to give account for his paddling and answer questions if needed.
The review run well and Jonas got his paddling approved by the jury without remarks.

As proof of this Jonas could get his miniature kayak. No! We don‘t see double. There are two kayaks that Jim have the pleasure to hand over. One is a copy of the other and both are for the same tour as Jonas wanted this. It was the first time a paddler was given two miniature kayaks.

While we look at the couple was a Swedish fika with beer served to them all and later was the meeting ended.

The jury consisted by Sven Berggren, Jim Danielsson and Thorvald Nielsen moreover photographer as many tines before.
As friend of order celebrated The Gothenburger Jan Olof this day by manage his meeting with the jury. Any traditional pastry typical for Gustav Adolf Day as the grounder of Gothenburg was not for JO (Jan Olof).
JO had his tour carefully drawn in maps and were easy to follow from start to finish. JO had made this tour 2015 and by this know how the meeting proceeded. All maps and logbook was presented in folders . easy to turn the pages as the tour was checked. The besides comment from JO made the meeting pleasant.

MATTIAS SÖDERBERG

Approved by the juryn 2018 November 23
 
Apart from usual constellation with Sven Berggren, Jim Danielsson and Thorvald Nielsen was Lennart Bergström also present. Any relief to the jury was not added by this more than the photo documentation was not the second task to Thorvald this time.
Mattias together with his younger brother Johan were grated and the meeting could be started dead on time. The maps were in two sizes - either A4 or A1 in a bit peculiar mix.


It was a turning of pages in different size and naturally was the search part at the back of another. With a good teamwork were the problems solved Mattias had had with the order.


All turned out well. No way points caused explanation and the jury could give their approval. Jim asked the question "Have your red the rules and understood and followed them". Upon Mattias' "Yes" could Jim with pleasure overhand the HBB miniature kayak that Mattias got with pleasure and satisfaction.

Beer and sandwiches were brought forth and the open talk started. Mattias had a lot to tell about his tour.
Later it was time for "Swedish fika" - coffee and a nice saffron cake while the talk went.

Today's jury meeting was held via Skype with Gustav proceeded well as planned. From HBB were the trio Sven Berggren, Jim Danielsson and Thorvald Nielsen present.
This was first time Skype was involved in a meeting. While Gustav was in Kiruna he had sent maps with a drawn trace together with his log book to Jim.

Perhaps was it also a premier to Jim sitting by a computer and ask the essential question with eye contact. Right answer was given and the meeting could later be closed with solid approve to Gustav.
