Re: Recent Australian National Events: Given all the posts about the recent disqualification at the Australian Nationals, I wonder whether someone in the know could clarify the situation regarding this disqualification, and "the rules" generally. The questions I would like answered are: 1. What is the actual structure of the National Band Council of Australia? 2. How can a member of a band registered with one of the State bodies get a copy of "the rules" for National contests? 3. Under which rule was the protest based? (Can we have the exact words please.) 4. Are Australian bands allowed to register players from other countries, especially the UK under any circumstances? Are there any requirements in terms of how long the player is "resident" in Australia? (It was so much more convenient when we were all residents of the British Empire!) 5. Is there a similar rule operating for any of the UK contesting structures? I recall that the Newcastle (Australia) Steelworks Band won the British Open Championships in 1928 - that was a whole band from another country! 6. Are "the rules" ever reviewed? Is there some mechanism whereby ordinary band members can suggest alterations if they feel "the rules" are antiquated or unfair?
