But we can't play in the British. The Major Open overlaps the Olympiad, as does the Seniors. Only a handful of Oceania have Brisish citizenship and the right to play in the Championship (which has slightly altered dates - though it would be a nightmare still, getting from Wales to Tromso in time, I think - and you definitely would not be nicely rested!) and practically no-one is high-enough rated to qualify. I did ask if I could take part as a former British Ladies champion but no-one deigned to respond so I assume the answer is no!
