Southern Salver Sunday 19th April

Some people have received messages that this is full which is not true. This was because some names were in twice and some were crossed out but the computer still counted them. There are 29 entries and there are 40 places. You do not need a partner so it is better not to sign up as pairs. Also do not say you need a partner because you don’t. The entries have been tidied up but we still need 11 more people.
