Hi all,

Please read the regulations for attendance to the AGM below, if you want
to compete in the 2007 nationals.
I will be attending as league representative. However I could ask that
I also represent harriers and Angels if none of you wish to attend. As
vice-captain of the harriers last year and a tournament angel this may
be OK.
Let me know what you think?

Thanks

Stella
