hi Ben,
Just wanted to let you know that unfortunately I am going to have to break my run of attendance at COLIN this year, due to weekend working. Hope everyone has a great time. I'm sure they will.
Best wishes.

Hi Jeff
Please count me in for COLEI.
Could you text me an address to send you a cheque, please?
Sue may come too, but she won't play.
See you there!
Thanks.

Jono,
Many thanks for the games and for updating the forum. It was a pleasure to play you, notwithstanding the scoreline.
All the best to both players for the final.

Re: Apterous Masters (formerly COMA) 2010
Hi Jono,
That's fine. I'm trying to get onto apterous, but having no joy at present.
I'll persevere for a while. If I have to break for dinner, I'll try again later.

Re: Apterous Masters (formerly COMA) 2010
Charlie, Thanks for the games and the summaries thereof - as anticipated it was really tight contest. Ben, Re the semis, I was wondering how many games there are and how long we're going to get to play them. I've been fortunate enough to have been working part-time this week, but during the two week...

Hi Charlie/Ben,
Sorry, i've just logged on and seen Ian's suggestion, which I am of course happy to agree with - but as I've just seen it could we have a little more time to play the game please? I am working part-time next week, so it should be easy to find time.
