RCdeB
Members of the Racing Club de Blackheath will yet again dig out their boots, the knee straps and lederhosen for a shorter but equally exhausting trip to Austria.
Klagenfurt (446m), on the eastern shore of Lake Wörthersee, is the capital city of the southern Austrian province of Carinthia. Its emblem is the Lindwurm, a winged dragon, of which there is a fountain on the main square, Neuer Platz (see above). Nearby, frescoes and reliefs adorn the opulent 1500s cathedral. Baroque and Renaissance buildings line the narrow streets around Alter Platz, with its yellow 17th-century Old Town Hall.
The winged dragons of the RCdeB are looking forward to surprising and delighting the local team.
