Toward the end of the first training session of the Summer Camp 2009 we started chatting during cooling down and we came out with this random list of good reasons to be here:

  1. Fun
  2. Training outside
  3. More time for cosial interaction
  4. Palinka
  5. Know other members better
  6. Training outside
  7. Swimming
  8. Better weather
  9. Goulash
  10. Training away from everyday’s distractions
  11. Holiday with a bit of training
  12. Kickboxing
  13. Socializing
  14. Lots of clever people to have interesting, sometimes geeky, conversations
  15. Thermal SPA
  16. Better bonding on a personal level with some members of the club
  17. Alternative training sessions

Best wishes to those that are back in Cambridge from the Summer Camp 2009 group: Mark, Adam, Heley, Georgios, Linda, Ronnit, Wez, Chris W., Andrea and Massimo.

CARISMA official video

CARISMA recently commissioned the production of a short clip that represents the essence of its training and spirit. BCTODAY, a professional agency specialized in video production based in Turin (Italy) was selected for this job given the professional experience I had with them during one of my previous jobs.

The result is stunning and I am very pleased of it.  Any comment to this post will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks from me personally and on behalf of the whole club for the effort and hard work all members put in this project.  Special thanks to Piero Masi (cameraman) and Stefano Giovannini (director of photography who actually did the filming following Piero’s suggestions) who flew to Cambridge for a day, spent many hours in Adembrooks hospital as Piero’s suffered of a kidney colic in the middle of the night and still managed to deliver some amazing work. Also a big thank to Emanuele Mercadante for the great editing work.
