Good stuff!

We had 97 entries as of 1200 on Friday, and I reckon with yours and a few others who I know have entered but I've not been told about, we're now over the 100 mark.

I spent 2 hours setting up the room this afternoon (the organiser had already done it once in the morning, only for a martial arts class to come in, forcing us to clear it up again). There's room for 124 in the playing area if there are any last-minute entries on their way!
