There is a problem with the Giant Killer display after today's Feb 27 2019 upload. There is also an issue with the display of opponent names in events outside Scotland. A fix is being sought.

Hi folks please bring back the trophies this month so that we are sure we've got them for prizegiving.

See you Sunday 24th Feb 2018

Hi all,
Anyone interested in being considered for this team event please contact me via abburnett(at) hotmail.com

No word as yet re: funding and still no details/website of the event itself, but I will be looking to set a deadline of March 31st for interested parties, and a selection deadline of April 14th.

If this sounds a bit early, it's generally because people need to put in their holiday plans at work in advance. Any questions, problems or suggestions feel free to get on touch with me at the address above or add me on FB.

Kind regards,
Andy Burnett
(CS International Director)
