Thanks so much, Irene! Are you OK with this going on the ABPA Facebook page? I won't post full details - just a link to the information on the main ABPA website Events page if OK with you.

Cheers

Gee you are bonza girls!

IRene....I'm a tad overtired at present ( that's my excuse anyway) but do we email entries to you, and then email The Treasurer with our electronically paid entry fees?

I'm hoping that when I've finished up all the Copper Croc stuff that I may actually get time to....write! again.

Good luck with it all love, it's a huge job and much appreciated by all, I'm sure.
