Alex may be in touch beforehand with forms for the Scottish 2013. I'll send you some entry forms for Prestwick, when I've got them done. To begin with, if you can just persuade the top 10 to visit Ayrshire at the end of May that would be fine. Thanks.

A little known Fact about Iceland....There are apparently six women to ever man on the island  Best tell them to be prepared for the influx of new applications now that this Fact has been revealed to the masses Apologies Andy if your wife reads this and decides that you can no longer go :\ :\ Those long dark winters must be lots of fun.
