Chap Olympics

Has anyone attended the Chap Olympics (presented by Chap Magazine) in the past? I'll be back in London next Saturday and I was wondering whether it would be worth checking them out. Please let me know what you know. Thanks.

It all looks terribly English and terribly silly.

I'd go. :-)

It looks like a great, ridiculous way to spend part of an afternoon. Sounds good to me. Thanks for the site links.

I keep my fingers crossed each time I come over. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. Regardless of the weather, I'm certain the pubs will still serve ale so I'll be happy.

There's rather a good map, as well as the address (Bedford Gardens).
