Hosts Italy have confirmed that ITC2015 will be held in Rome 5-6 September at the same location used this year.

Excellent. Flights and hotel booked

I think I am eligible to go... who can confirm this?? (was 5th in rankings) then I too will get things booked. Where is the location and what hotels are recommended?
Cheers in advance Paul Johnston

Paul the key thing I guess is whether it is one GB team or two, there's then an email that goes out to ask who wants to go. Not sure who sends that. The nearest hotel to the venue is Hotel Delle Vittorie, Via Col Di Lana 24, Rome, 00195

The venue is the Marina Militare, an Italian Navy building, which is about 300 metres away at the junction of Via Fabio Filzi and Via Timavo.

Its normally Dave Ruddock. He may not be so keen to organise this year, but he might qualify for team USA

Sorry, Team USA has a minimum requirement that have to be able to defeat an American. Ruddock continually fails this test like he did at the ITC this year.

Oh well, perhaps someone else needs to scrape the bottom of the barrel

Surprisingly/sadly It looks like I could miss out , even with a Britcon win my ranking doesn't seem to have changed so , Steve ,if you are wanting Kiwi Lynda in the team again then I shall have to come as a camp follower

David, move north of the border and we'll gatecrash with a northern barbarians teams.

The more Northerly part of Oxford ARE Northern Barbarians! Remember - North of the Thames are barbarians, North of The Wash are savages.

Good plan, I was born in Alnwick after all ,that's almost Scotland

Didn't the home office mention something about treason this week?

Well if I'm not wanted here... ,
Anyway I'd probably have to fight for the place with Dave, even he's managed to stay above me in the rankings

I was going to say Dave (Ruddock) could go as umpire since he does a lot of the organising. But I don't think I've ever had a worse idea

Have a day off ,you must be sickening for something

Hmm, so that would improve the average scores in our team but inject the randomness of his bizarre rules interpretations. Could be amusing

Don't forget he won't be in your team this year unless he manages to incapcitate the 14 people above him between now an then
