Would team England or team Scotland be interested in a weekend vs Team Wales? I am looking at getting a team Wales together and feel it has more chance if Team Wales has a fixture.
I can put on an event here in Wales and will even supply a Trophy if you would like it an annual event?
For the likes of Team England it could be a prime time to try our new players etc. for Team Wales its a time to get a team,
Discuss!

Even if we made a British Championships. For established teams like England it might make no difference, but for the likes of Wales I believe its the difference between possibly getting a team and not getting one.

Funds are always the issue for me. I'd need a bit of advanced warning.

Hangus, Jimjimany, Purplegoo and myself have expressed interest.
Here are some other points from the TeamEngland forum discussion:
Purplegoo wrote:I think it depends on the where / when / how of things. I agree it would be nice to help.
Is there a good one dayer (IM is probably much too close in) you could tack a day two onto? Make sure the Welsh turn up to the one dayer, and then whoever is English and fancies hanging around gives them a fixture on the Sunday, two games, everyone is off home well in time?
What about after the Stunty Slam? It's a while away to make arrangements for, it's in Manchester, you get loads of English there, couple of months before the World Cup so it can use the ruleset as practice? There are a couple of Scotch one dayers too, so they could get two games if they wanted.
Joemanji wrote:I like Phil's idea. Another option for a single fixture would be to tag it onto the Saturday evening of a 2 day tournament. Maybe even the Casenywnnogogogoch Cup (where there will definitely be 8 Welshmen and probably 8 English). Perhaps drop a round to fit it in if time is tight.

Been talking to Valen of Scotland fame about this and he was interested. I would have no objections to England fielding two teams just to make it a round number.

Going to put my head on the block a little here, I would be happy even to have team Wales visit a club with Team England members in it, like where Geggster or Lycos play, Reading would be best I think as a venue, only because for team Wales to work they would need to travel, its easy to produce 8 welsh players I manage that every Monday night, but will they travel?
As it stands I know the following have signed up to Team Wales forums and displayed interest.

As Andy said I'm up for playing and I know others are too, we just need a chance to come together under the Team Wales banner. I think we would all rather a club visit or a specific Wales, England & Scotland event rather than poach someone elses event.

As the foreign outpost of team Scotland I'd need a when and where before I could commit, though I'd be interested.
I like the idea of tacking it on to something else (more reason for me to travel) - why not The Blood Bowl (we all get up to Notts for lunch time and play it out in Bugmans round robin stylee) or the World Cup.

Just resuscitating the thread abit....
If the Monkey Bowl goes Team play, would that be a practice opportunity for the England/Wales/Scotland teams?

Fair point. It will be a team tourney so could be the perfect window to kickstart a Team Wales or similar *plug*
