Committee members picked up outlying tickets today and we began entering them into the system.

As of this moment we have 838 entrants and I think that's it for today - immediately prior to Day 1. Some of our committee may be on a well deserved break, but if you have a ticket, rest assured you're good for tomorrow. Charter tickets and later data entries may bump the total. But I'm happy with 839 because last year we had 819 at the end of day 1 including charters.

I met Kyle Watson and his delightful family tonight and can tell you all to forget about Choronzey, Freiberger, Wilton, Von Moorsberg and the usual suspects.

Watson entered his kids - so forget it.

I'm on tomorrow morning at Kincardine and in and out sporadically. Have had to cut back. Hope to greet many of you through the week.

Will keep all posted on developments.
