> Send an open team. Send a womens team.

> Even though you did well in the mixed division in 2001 - for further

> Why should I send this? Because I think it will help make Australian

> both countries. Just look at what happened at Australian Nationals.
> Those results are going to fire up Aussie teams for the next 12 > months.
