For the past few years, Hartti Suomela, from Finland, has been putting
together a database of national teams results from Worlds, European
Championships and other relevant events. It is now ready to be released to the
world:http://www.hartti.com/national_teams
No doubt this has taken a huge amount of effort from Hartti so far, but it
is still incomplete. Many of the events date back to before the internet or
email was widely used, so he has been relying on paper daily newsletters from
those events.
It may also be the case that your national association has archived some of
the event newsletters, or you have recorded the results in your own newsletters
after your teams returned home. If you can scan any such original
information, it would be much appreciated. As it is, it is a fantastic archive
for all countries, but if we can complete the information it will be even
better.
Even for us less than international elite types, Hartti's work is pretty amazing.
Yes, you can even check up on the international career's of some of the folks you rub shoulders against in recent seasons of the BPL, including Buzz Burwell, Sean Flanagan, Mat Ryan (Open Career) and (Masters Career), Jason Ray, Mike Neild (or is that Nield - will have to get that fixed!), Abra Garfield, or Piers Truter. And here's John McNaughton, Myall Hingee, Phil Stocks and Bruce McNaughton.
We should also mention Jenny Beard, Sandra Poon, Gen Healy, Tam Davis, and Notty!
Jeepers, they've even got the lord of the stately mansion in there!?
