When you're Britain's premiere Womens In Games apart from the other four, attending press events can be a tiresome business. As almost invariably the only woman there, you'll find yourself endlessly photographed and filmed.

There's always the tiniest of pauses before someone mentions it, and it's pronounced slightly softly, with a teeny bit of trepidation. Everyone else even stops reaching for the little bowl of Celebrations in the middle of our meeting room.
