When they pulled out of the BBL just over a week ago, the Birmingham Bullets' website explained that they will "rest out he 2006/2007 season" (sic) while continuing to negotiate the relocation of the franchise. They also stated that, during this period they would "restrict them selves to international goodwill games and exchanges and a training team" and that "Discussions with the coach on our plans for our  ‘rest year’ activities are in progress and will be announced soon."

Today, however, this formal notice appeared in the "Nottingham Evening Post" :  

Birmingham Basketball Limited

NOTICE is hereby given persuant to SEction 98 of the Insolvency Act 1986 that a Meeting of the Creditors of the above named Company will be held at The Smithy, Ossington Road, Norrell, Nottinghamshire NG23 6GZ on the 11th August at 10.15am for the purposes mentioned in section 99 to 101 of the said act.

By order of the board

Craig William Bown - Director

If that's what they mean by their "plans for our  ‘rest year’ activities" then everything else seems pretty academic.

That's always assuming that "Birmingham Basketball Limited" are the owners of Birmingham Bullets, and I can't see any indications to the contrary.
