Del I would presume that if you pay for 5 entries upfront but only say enter 3 then the additional entry money would be returned 🤔
Definitely not Martin, the money taken in guarantees the prize money and pays for thr transporter/convoyer/premises etc. Remember, 8 folk paid last year and then didnt send, this has to be the way or everybody could say they are going, pay for the birds and then not want to go because its snowing or something and want their money back. This is the reason the money has to be in early, to pay things and guarantee the prize money.

Only a few days left and no money paid in yet. I reckon we need 30 folk entering to make it worthwhile and the same as last year.

Ok folks ,we need to get our money in to see who's all going. Don't leave it til the last minute because I might pull the plug on it before that if we don't seem to be getting the numbers. This was a great race last year, the prizes were all spread out and it was a complete success. Willie Strang now stays in View Park and will collect any entries around that area , hes usually in after 12 noon. He stays at 6 Willow place, Viewpark G715BX. Cheers, Del
