Hi All,
Just so you know that there is at least some interest: I had looked forward
very much to competitions like the uni games, but had already planned a trip
back to Melbourne over that time-Easter (it would've helped if I had earlier
notice of when the competitions were on).
As far as competitions go, looks like I'll settle for the Uni Games in
September.
However, could someone please post a list of all upcoming trips/competitions
for this year, so I could put it on the website for everyone? From Alex's
message, it seems like there are a lot of trips, and it would help people to
keep track of them if there was a reference somewhere.
Thanks,
Vince
