I have already prepared a report for Council and will add to this in my Home Directors report in time for the AGM. I will be in a consulting period regarding these issues up to the AGM and I hope to include these points at the AGM.
Ian, if I recall correctly Keith e-mailed Club secs and or Team Captains of clubs who were involved in the Rich/Spens about 2yrs ago. You would need to check with him or maybe he can clarify himself on here. Obviously I don't see what else goes on behind the scenes, but if that is the case then my point remains valid, that it would be worth contacting those clubs who are not entering teams into either competition (and theres plenty of them) to find out why, and what would need to change for them to be favourable about entering.
Regardless of what has been done or not before and when, do you not think it is a sensible base from which to start and talk to your people that you are supposed to represent? I hope this does not come over the wrong way, it is meant with positive intention.

It seems relevant to post it here and nicely concludes my own discussion and contributions here. See you all back here in 1 years time to do it all again.
