Hi everyone,
        regarding Trevor Snyman's email aabout the BBD in South Africa I was 
very impressed by the number of teams competing let alone the top score of 
271.  I was wondering if anyone knows the number of participating teams last 
year in Australia (I would have guessed about 60) and perhaps Trevor could 
give us an idea of the number in South Africa (seems like more than 170). 

                                                Best Wishes
                                                John Boyce
