The Ethicist still up for some violence
Are we in or pissing in the wind?
It's james Bond Needs-to-know-time
I'll find another team if we're out
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophies Horatio
Needs someone based in Perth to run with it and start organising SWB.
Unfortunately I'm not going to be as available to do so as I had originally hoped.
Certainly needs to be acted on ASAP if it's going to happen though.

GIRLS CAN DO ANYTHING
Golden Oldies Rugby is introducing a women’s division at the 2010 world festival due to be held in Sydney, Australia from September 26-October 3.
Golden Oldies rugby festivals are especially designed for current and ex-rugby players aged over 35 (30 for women) and it has only been the lack of sufficient teams to form a division that has prevented full participation of women in the past.
Women have participated in Golden Oldies World Festivals as far back as the 1983 event in Sydney, Australia, said Paul Tibbutt from the Golden Oldies Rugby Secretariat.
“Matches have mostly taken part between a local team and supporters from visiting men’s teams to make up an ‘International’ combination.
“We are keen now to have women players fully participate in their own right in the ‘Fun, Friendship and Fraternity’ that is a Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival. Consequently, as well as offering existing women’s teams the opportunity of joining, we have formed four teams to give individuals the chance to join and play in their own division.”
Games are played strictly by Golden Oldies laws with a focus on participation rather than winning. Women’s teams or individuals can enter the festival on the same basis as all others, with a complete package on offer of three rugby games, accommodation, ground transport, three all-inclusive social events and festival souvenirs.
The 2010 festival currently has 171 (men’s) teams registered, with 4300 players and supporters representing 15 countries from around the world, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Cook Islands, England, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Qatar, Russia, Scotland, USA and Vanuatu.
Individuals or teams (men or women) who wish to enter 18th Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival, email the Golden Oldies World Rugby Secretariat at rugby@goldenoldiessports.com.

Right people, this is my last attempt from afar.
Sadly, I will not be able to be physically involved, people to drive it are needed in Perth.
I would suggest unless a few of you take the chance to have a yarn about forming a team for Sydney before and after tomorrow's match then we may as well forget it.
Time is needed to do this successfully and that is one thing that is running out rapidly.
Over to you folks...
