I believe John Edwards from the Durham mob will be coming up as well Hunter.

For those that don't know, I've managed to time a gig with my band (Deep Purple in Rock - http://www.deeppurpleinrock.co.uk) up in Dundee on the Saturday night if anyone fancies it. It is an 11:00 curfew on music, so it won't be a late night.

Full details are:
Venue - Beat Generator, 70 N Lindsay St, Dundee DD1 1PS (Sat Navs might take you round the corner).
Tickets - £7, pay on the door.

As you may have guessed, we are a Deep Purple tribute!

I'm still waiting on news from Rob T, the Muirs, Mike K and John C but so far we look like having;

Hunter
John Munro
Jim
Paul
Mal
Graeme

[spotteddog]

That's us now up to 14 folks;

Hunter
John Munro
Jim
Paul
Mal
Graeme
John Edwards
Alan
David
Hugh
George
Mark
Rob Pooley
Mike

I'm waiting to hear back from Ron, John C, Gary and the Muirs so we could be looking at 16-18 optomistically.

HH

[spotteddog]

Breaking news.

Gary Lind will be joining us at the basho so we are now at;

Hunter
John Munro
Jim
Paul
Mal
Graeme
John Edwards
Alan
David
Hugh
George
Mark
Rob Pooley
Mike
Gary

........ on the downside Rob T can't make it and John C is an unlikley lad. I haven't heard back from the Muirs but I suspect John has moved permanently on to other stuff. So - 15 likley lads I'll soon be scrambling for a 16th warrior to swerve the dreaded bye.

Hi Hunter...

Just been checking the results for the Scottish Open for the last few years... and found none on BHGS site or results anywhere...

I am shocked that the last results sent by yourself and used for 2009

Come on matey get your finger out and send them in... 2010,2011,2012,2013,2014 ? Can we have an open if no results are covered or published!!!! I have chased D.R. with the results for Schiltron, as I noticed I did not hand them in either... so one organiser to another... please supply these....

Hmmm - checking out the power players and their armies mair like!

Looks like a kinda closed open then eh? I'm afraid I have to hold my hand up and say its not something I've kept a record of. If it helps any - the winners names are on the "Old Glory Geezer" trophy which I think has set up home with PJ. If my memory serves me correctly a guy called George Dick was second in 10, 11, 12, 13 and maybe 14 but I can't be sure. That being the case though, Spotted Dog Production's Pre Dict o Meter with undoubtedly be figuring this guy into the top spot forecasts for 15!

Lists to Hunter Hope for checking folks. Just one received so far from Shuggie - which was shockingly awry but now sorted. Sorry Shug - the people hae a right to ken!

HH

[spotteddog]

Please note, basho goers, that the deadline for lists is 18th October, that's just a week away now! 3 lists received so far including my own which I am divulging to basho goers as they senf their lists. So if you want to be ahead of the game and in the know send soon. The sooner you send the sooner you get your runners.

Oops - that's 18th November off course.
