Call for nominations for Palma Squad
Hi Team
It is my honour as the Captain of the New Zealand Palma Team to announce that we are now looking for nominations for the Palma team to compete in the Long Range World Championship to be held at Trentham in 2019.
I have started to form the management team for this campaign and my Adjutant, Chris Kershaw, and I have also gathered a close knit group of senior people (The tight five) as close support and liaison. Be aware that we will be looking for a high level of commitment and accountability from all squad members, we intend to ensure we are able to deliver to an International standard when it matters.
