A final form and payment should then be sent to the Treasurer by the due date once the teams have been announced.

GET WELL SOON
On the Sunday morning after the National Championships last year, Tony Salecich one of our Qld umpires and also a Qld player from previous championships suffered a heart attack at the Melbourne airport. He was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery.
The good news is that Tony is doing well and progressing in his rehabilitation. I am sure all Qld players join me in wishing Tony a speedy recovery and send their best wishes to him, his wife Judy and his family as they work through this difficult time.
