Forum members team in Australia.

Okay, I have had a brilliant idea.
When Andy was running the Barcelona project, before Brexit, bird flu and other things made it too hard, Forum members were sending youngsters to him.
One of the best of them was "Pete's Muzzabelle"
Anyway, I find myself with some very good stock pigeons, which keep breeding winners. I also have a very good mate who keeps training winners.
When we were talking today I suggested putting a team in for the forum members in next year's Eureka Cup race. It is a special ring race run by the Central Highlands Combine. Trust me, it's a big thing.
David was very enthusiastic.
So, the initial idea is I will breed a round off my best, they will have EC (Eureka Cup) rings on, and will be entered for the forum members. David will train them.
The cost is Au$100 for 12 rings. I will cover that.
Two questions.
First, is anyone interested in being in this?
Second, what would we call the syndicate?

I would be in on that please Murray, What about team name, Friends around the world?
We would need a cost for each member, for Entry, food, and training cost.

And to the idea that it might be a bit of fun, David won the combine again, so it's two weeks in a row...

Good idea Murray I’d be interested.
Of course as our older members will remember Pete’s Muzzabella was taken by a hawk from in my garden. I do still have Muzzaboy, a son of Pete’s muzzabella and a daughter.
