Forgotten imports

they were Australian, after all they can probably apply
for the UK team soon!

is misleading, we like the term "teams of two single
sex sections" or "TOTSSS" for short).
The idea was initially discussed at the UKPA AGM in 2012
and then again in the Club Council meeting in March 2013
but was voted down at that meeting when the UKPA asked the
clubs to show how they felt about the idea...Read
