They are believed to be very close to finalizing funding and logistical arrangements required to mount a challenge of the size and expense required.
  
  Will this project includes some of the C7 or an OzBoyz Challenge key player is not sure at this stage. Interestingly it has to be reminded that OzBoyz Challenge did announce their commitment to the 33rd when they had to pull out a couple of years ago.
  
  Although there has not been any formal announcement yet, it is believed that further information will be released in September. A date apparently chosen to coincide the 24th years of the Australian victory." email (& more)
