We are now Under Starter's Orders; the race is about to begin.

Welcome to the 2014 ANC in Sydney, which is a held under the auspices of the ABF and the NSWBA. We are delighted to have you here.

My name is Marcia Scudder and I wear the Tournament Organiser hat. However, truth be known, organising this event has been a duopoly. Every step of the way has been carried out with John Scudder as consultant, adviser etc etc.
