Reading these last 8 pages has made it all worthwhile.....jeezus you guys must be the best s---stirrers a guy could know!
It's gratifying that it'll all come together in a big rush:
-in the flooded Glenelg
-in the impenetrable gullies
-in the gloopy swamp
-in the sand stretch WFO get-off
-in the Interstate Trophy Teams sabotage
-in the never-never land of seldom seen arrows
-in the Harrow dungeon with the mummified cat
-in the hysteria of the 'Teams Dinner'
-(insert your own undoing here).
Well folks, we really are up and running: the Interstate Teams are largely finalised, the 3 man Club Teams are showing their inventive spin, entries are still coming (I'm up to Blackwood for the next 5 days, more paperwork and fine tuning that fine piece of Czech Iron) and we're up to #175, the medals are ordered, the Meritous Trophies are in, Barossa Trophies are coming, heaps of goodies from Wurth (god bless you Bruce C) and Goldacres have just donated a mega pressure washer as a prize. Thanks Bruce Mac. Shannons are setting up a stall, I've just doubled the order of arrows (...insert smart arse comment here...), heaps of bunting, the front # stickers are being printed (thanks Neil), Banners and VERi stickers done (thanks Shoey), time cards ordered, tags gotten, signs sourced, Sam of Crank Coffee is confirmed, the Dinner is sorted with drinks and food, the pub will be serving meals as well as your favourite poison, all permissions from landowners obtained, heaps have volunteered to help set up (...what! don't say it...), permits sorted, clickers bought, clocks have new batteries, staple guns checked, etc etc....
F--- I love doing this....IT'S GONNA BE A HOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
