    Both tables were chocker with punters last year but that'll be something different, DM, how much room is needed ? We might be able to squeeze it between the two fighting tables or timeshare one of them.

    I think I used a "two-mat" table at Donnie last year, but if normal tables are popular enough then I'll stand down

    Sorry Dave. Have to say no to this one. I have an SK event (Margam) in Wales the last week in August, the week before Donnie. Donnie ends 3 September and Yon and I fly to Canada on 19th . So I'm being told "No" by a very important person

    No set period, Tim, we'll be doing the usual training hops for newbs and a dogfight for those who are feeling brave, with various types, should be enough for four a side but if you have something particular to blood bring it along. Other than that your banner & a table cloth if you have some such would be helpful as always.

    OK - I can oppose it with a spiffing "Patient Zero" Snipe I found at the close of the Doncaster event...

    I am going to be delayed. No trains out of London at the moment due to a lineside fire. Unlikely to be there before 12 now

    Another successful day at Colours in spite of the excessive heat ! A big thanks to all who could make it and take part it and to those who just popped along to say hello, it was great to see you all.
    I shall look at the photos later and post some up here, putting names to faces where I can.
    We entertained and, at risk of repeating myself, in the words of young mister Grace, "you've all done very well" !
