It seemed like the entire neighbourhood was doing what we were doing last night and I got to bed just after 1-00am….whilst plenty around us kept going. Not much sleep this end and I’m way behind as the cogs ain’t whirring as they should! I’m sure a couple more coffee’s …

Thank you to those currently receiving the FREE NEWSLETTER, that have e-mailed me to say how much they are enjoying the work they have been sent this week. I’d love each and every one of you to get involved in what we are trying to do here and once the …

This morning you have rated races Class 3 or better but my intention is to send out a second Newsletter later this morning, that will contain those rated races of lower grade and field sizes exceeding 12 runners. Today I will also be working on the template for the new …
