Thanks Cads, but Chevron benefitted more this year by having 5 players selected
for the GB Open team who could come back from World Championships and use the
experience to help raise the standard of our team.

As for Colin's proposal, which I note has shifted slightly in emphasis from
'Let's send our National Champions' to 'Let's send either our National Champions
or the Tour Champions'; welcome back to the bad old days. One team (National
Champions) goes to represent GB every year, thus hogging all the experience for
themselves and therefore impoverishing other teams, before coming back and
kicking UTI's arse all over the field. Players who want to play at a higher
level then have to join Catch 22 and that's that, British Ultimate up Shotgun
Creek without a paddle once more.

cheers guys
