How do you get people to join if they are not allowed to know what is going on? If we advertise we are going to host the World Trials in 2013, (if that is the correct term), I think we could get one big boost of membership. If as I understand it, (and that is a dangerous assumption) it is a done deal, we should shout it from the highest windows and often. Not try to hold back information. I don't even know what the commitment is, or if it is done. And, before this began, I didn't even know what the World Trials were. Wait a minute, I still don't know.
