irish team for world championships 2011

[spidercrab]

This is great news, After all the hard work that you guys have put into getting your casting to world standard you deserve to be there, Best of luck.

[paddyc]

Thank you for all the support lads, as mentioned there has been alot of work put in to get us this far and to get an Irish team to the World's is the final push to make history and put Irish casting firmly on the global stage.

Some info from Dennis:
"Hi Paddy, would be great to see you guys at the worlds, the cost per caster is 450 euros to enter, this is for entry to the worlds, accommodation and food, any extra days to the schedule which is not out yet will be about 60 euros per day, then you have flights, car hire, extra euros for a few beers, it will cost each caster in excess of 1000 euros, we have been raising funds ourselves as we also get no help whatsoever from anybody and we are the world team champions."

As you can see from this we are not the only ones in this position, so we will just like our English friends have to do some fund raising to help with the finances.
It is a huge honour for anyone who qualifies to represent our country at the very higest level and with the interest already shown we could have two very good teams in with a shot....
