MacIsaac and Nancy Elder latest

[Keith Rose]

This is perhaps not the right section but I don't want to conflict with Dundee Congress postings.

Latest entry lists. There’s still time for more, is there really so little interest in the MacIsaac? Clearly major surgery will be needed. This is likely to be the last time it will be offered as a knockout.

Wandering Dragons have now added to the mix with Hamish Olson in the MacIsaac and Chris Donkin, Michael Pollard and Tony Akers in the Nancy Elder.

That makes 6 in the MacIsaac and 20 in the Nancy Elder. Just 2 more in the MacIsaac would make a nice number for a knockout.

The Nancy Elder will certainly be localised/regionalised for the first two rounds. Exactly how will depend on final entries - you could probably work this out for yourselves.

I don't mind extending the closing date until the end of the week if consultation/arm-bending is needed.

They paid me a substantial sum for your transfer. Wait a minute, maybe it was Inverclyde that paid me... 8)

Sorry 'bout that.
I'll transfer you back forthwith.

Nancy Elder entries are now at 23.

MacIsaac - I have had an offer of entry if there is one more entry from the 'Lothian-ish area' [i.e to make it 8]. Any takers? As there will be a maximum of three rounds, whether 6 or 8 players, there is a little time in hand to wait for a latecomer so I'll remove the entry deadline in the meantime.

Can none of the Edinburgh-area clubs come up with just one entry between them?
