 At the end of the day though Ron - rules are rules.....

O K Peter, but dont you think we should know under which rule the disq, was
under ,for instance if you registered with me now for next Easter but only
did a couple of rehearsals before the contest would we be disq,for playing
you,as you are so far away over there 5000 odd miles you may as well be in
another country "OOPS". I'd just like the position to be clarified by the
ruling body.

I almost forgot do we have a treaty with the U.K. so you can play on permit
and not registration(or is it like Spain with no extradition allowed).
