And CO:LON 2024 the day before MSO, at the O2 Centre in Finchley Road, a couple of minutes walk down the road from JW3, so good opportunity to make a weekend of it!

There were some illegal cutlery penalty points that I don't think have been applied to the above results so they're still provisional.

Sounds like a good event, nice one. What's it like organising an MSO event Tony? I'm considering organising one (for a different game, not Countdown) next year, but I can't find any info on the MSO website about how to do that.
