Ryan,
PS: have sent you a rather long PM about fundraising

MemberJust wondering if I’d be able to play in this… I’m going back to Canada for a few months over xmas etc, and will already be in Canada during the trip. I could fly over to Toronto, play in the games, and join the team on the flights back to NZ because that would be roughly when I’d be heading back here.
Does that sound too complicated or far-fetched, or is it plausible?
Seems like a long-shot to me, just wondering your opinion?

MemberThat would be very cool, if… I had that money lying around.

MemberLast year there was a 15 year old from aussie that came with us. He came with his dad. If you send an email to Alison Reid she would be able to tell you if something could be sorted out.

MemberIm shifting over to Canada in a couple of weeks, to Toronto, and Im planning on meeting up with every one when they arrive. Last year we had players from Aussie, Scotland, Auckland and Christchurch so I dont see any reason why you couldnt fly in from another area in Canada.
I loved it soo much after going last February that I have decided to shift over there to live

[/quote:2kxr6v17]BC is 19 as well. All across Canada except Quebec, which is 18.

EDIT: yep, and so is Manitoba … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age

MemberQuite suprisingly we didnt get much chance to drink last time because we were all soo tired. We would come home and just collapse in our beds.
Mind you we were staying in a Christian Camp called Teen Ranch, where we werent allowed to drink. Next year they are going to be staying somewhere else though.
