"Thanks Gents, off shortly just as the sun comes out in the Uk!! MD/East thanks in advance if you do manage to put some questions on, if so everyone just add their scores as usual and I'll add them to the scoresheet when I get back. MD - Instead of posting all your recent scores individually just add them up and put the total on here and then I can just add it to one column and it will add to your running score automatically thanks to the scoresheet East produced. See you all in a couple of weeks."
