Boys & Girls, There is so much in this thread now that it is making my brain hurt! To answer TPs questions 1st: 1. Definative rules need to be in place by the end of the month. 2. meeting with New Era in two weeks 3. Assuming that New Era is a go, then we need to be certain of 25 entrants early in November. 3a. We now have 5 deposits in the file as of this morning. I am not cashing any of the cheques or CCs until we know that we have a goer. 4. No you cant have a 1000, try the "you are what you eat diet" off the telly, after a couple of weeks I have shifted nearly a stone! Chris |
