Perhaps we should re-market the nations cup? For some reason I had the distinct impression that the nations cup was some affair involving only the Netherlands and GB.
Nations Cup was intended to be equivalent to a Europeans. In any case, there was never really any limit on which Nations might actually be involved.
At this year's GC we discussed having a 2008 event in the UK, either a Nations Cup or a Global Challenge, the only obvious difference being that a Nations Cup would last 3 days and a Global Challenge would be a full week, on the basis that whilst people might travel half way round the world for 5 days racing, they probably wouldn't do it for 3.
I understand that there will be an announcement shortly about a UK event for next year, once it's been cleared with the club involved.
