Easy call there Pete we city guys can get to choose a number of venues with big or small fields within 20 minutes from our homes. But I think the Berri Complex put their hand up and took a chance and I'm sure it has merit in being an Annual venue.
And as I said b4 those who didn't or couldn't go will hear how good it was and next time make arrangements so they can. Take a week or a 4 day weekend off and enjoy what the Riverland has to offer. I didn't get to go and see Banrock Station winery as time didn't allow it.
Nothing wrong with still having an "Annual teams event" as a regular event either. I believe there are a lot of people who can't make the top 5 or the top 50 due to employment or such. But I guess they would actually enjoy playing with friends as a team trying to knock out other teams.
Not sure if it's necessary to hold it at the Palais but then again they put their hand up too. I can't remember if we has flight cards to chip up but I'm pretty sure we could win something if we did!!!! Obviously we need to have a chance at knocking off some of those damned cocky TD's this time and take them out.

Tongue in cheek boys and girls
As for the Sky City. I'd like to see an "ALL NPL PLAYERS ONLY EVENT" played there with a big stack and prizes related to seats in say something like the Aussie Millions or something similar held at Sky City.
Marry them all with our 5 State Finals and we have a great league of events.
I seen these 4 women from another operator who qualified for the Aussie Millions on Channel 9's Current Affairs the other night.
