I hope this doesn't mean that the IJD is thinking of taking 'Junior Internationalists' to tournaments that aren't junior tournaments.
I also don't think it's right that, nice as Andrew McHarg is, that you should be reassuring him about future Junior International events after all Andrew's comment was that our 'Junior Internationalists' don't have to play abroad to meet strong opposition.
It's absolutely essential that our juniors do play abroad at 'the pinnacle' events (Euroyouth and World Youth) until ofcourse they are held in Scotland or somewhere else in the UK.
If you are contemplating sending a squad to the British agegroup Championships then I'd very much support that but not in place of any events other than 'Liverpool' in my opinion.
In fact I'd love to see Paul and youself at Torquay next year.
