 | Heather Styles Thank you for all sign-ups so far. I have accepted the first 8. I hope that we can reach 16... or even 32! |
| Heather Styles Although I have been sending some aptomails to encourage people to join in with this, it is not an "invitation-only" tournament, so if you would like to give it a go, please sign up! |
| Heather Styles Dear Mr. Platt,
|
| Heather Styles Three more people, and I'll close sign-ups.
|
 | Andy Platt Reluctantly, I understand. |
 | Tricia Lockhart I must have played for about 17 months so I haven't applied but could make up the numbers if it made things easier? |
| Heather Styles Thank you for your message, Tricia. I would like this tournament to start tomorrow with 16 players, so please do sign up.
