New Gimps on the Block

Team coaches have reported a number of inquiries about how to get on the team, and how and when trials are held. As you might imagine competition for the prestigious top four tournament gimp slots is ferocious, but there is always the chance that a newcomer might make the grade. The application procedure this year has been simplified, and new players are always encouraged to apply. All that is now required is two referrals in writing from existing team players, plus a standard UKFA application form. This should be accompanied with a brief resume covering all relevant experience and tournament history. Needless to say successful candidates should have a commitment to the team and the sport in general, and will be expected to provide their own masks for the first season. I hope this has been useful and answers any outstanding queries.
