Chris You're right that there is some information on UKU, but I'm not totally sure that the committee members listed there are up to date, and (though no doubt members of the current women's committee are working hard behind the scenes), it's not really clear what their current role is re the format of women's tour or what plans they are considering for this season.
There is a need, as Jo rightly points out, for some discussion and consultation among active women's clubs about which format will provide competitive games for the majority of teams, while allowing them all a fair chance to progress up the rankings. There are also longer term issues about the women's game that merit discussion - in particular how to improve the competitive standard throughout the top 8 so we offer more challenge to the top two teams. As a captain of a rapidly expanding women's team, I certainly have views on this and I would like to know how best to submit them and to whom. There are also people on my team who would be happy to play an active role on the committee (which seems to have an incredibly extensive remit), if there are positions open for new members. If someone could send me the details about how they do this, I'd be very grateful.
