Evening all,

 

Here are the names of the members who took part in last Winters Snow Depth Cup and a few who want to be included this year. Might be better to let me know if you DONT want to take part in this Winters competition, by pm or post, hopefully most members will want to this Winter.

 

Want to know numbers first and will then decide on the format to use. It will probably be a number of "mini leagues" initially and then a knockout phase, later in the Winter.

 

Those of you in the list, could you please check that I have your details correct. Those of you who arent in the list, could you please let me know if you want to enter and I'll gladly include you.

 

Chris Mantle is kindly helping me by sorting out a spreadsheet for me, saves pen and paper, shame he doesnt know yet, only joking! Thanks again Chris! 

 

Those with asterisks against their name, could you please give me a more specific location.

Blimey Tom, that brings home how much work you are taking on! Thank you. I see that Great Plum and I are both in this year for Reigate so we have a local derby situation - I might get more snow due to my extra 30m altitude (!) but GP will probably keep his snow for longer from the frost hollow effect. Maybe I am over analysing - let me have a think about that suggestion and work out the pros and cons, ups and downs and then I'll let you all have a detailed paper setting out the position......

My family are all watching I'm a solicitor (oops, celebrity) get me out of here. Sometimes I wonder if I am actually related to them at all!

[Tom Montalbano]

I'll join this year! 

 

Oi, dont come it, East Yorkshire? I'll have to put that to the committee!

 

What do you think guys, cut his depths in half, you've got to be handicapped surely?

 

Tom.

[Summer of 76]

I will need a bigger computer to run the spreadsheet

[Rob Deacon]

[Snowangel-MK]

Ask the met office if you can borrow one of theirs Chris ;-)

[Tom Montalbano]

Ok guys and gals, I'll catch up with all that later and post an updated list tomorrow.

 

Thanks for all your posts and pms. Chris, what have you let yourself in for?

 

Should have told you, I'm still under going therapy for last years effort!

 

Tom.

[HammerJack]

Hey, well done Tom and Chris, thanks for doing this. As for the Yorkshire lad / lass they must have a handicap of atleast 20cm.... Can't wait for the cup to start. ðŸ‘

Hi Biensie, Tamara has been on the model and the strat thread recently - a consistent voice of sanity and reason and always the chance of a really proper recipe!
