[UCCBball] Fwd: Claremont basketball Nom Form (fwd)

[tommo at ucc.asn.au]

Gah, this is all very frustrating. Nothing personal against CBC -  
mixups do happen - I've just been really, really keen to get back out  
there, so it's all a bit anticlimactic.

Does anyone know for certain what Lakeside's policy on  
non-Church-affiliated teams is during winter competition? If CBC do  
end up dumping us, would we be able to register directly with  
Lakeside? Or would we have to look elsewhere? I've started  
investigating other competitions, but the main trouble is finding one  
that does mens on Saturdays. A lot of comps tend to run kids on  
Saturdays and mens/womens on weeknights.

Tom.
