I'm too old too.

More importantly, Scotland has used its junior budget to send teams to the European Junior Championship currently running in Bulgaria. Arranging these events so close together is not ideal.

Spare a thought for Australia where our Zonal Championships in June were in Malaysia (8 hours from Sydney) and August's World Youth Congress is in Croatia (28 hours from Sydney) with not much change out of US$2000 for the flights alone for the latter. I envy the availability of top class youth tournaments like the White House, European Juniors and the World Youth Congress right at your door-step, as I'm sure NBOs in Asia and North America must do also.
