2 entrees dropped off at Mornington. :beerbang:
great - I'll be picking up entries from there on Saturday.

For anyone planning to drop off entries to Keg King - please note that they won't be open this Saturday (they've decided to take a well earned long weekend due to the Friday public holiday). I'm planning to collect entries from there first thing on Monday morning, but if anyone will have difficulty getting their entry in due to the closure please PM me and I can arrange another drop off location for you, or delay picking up from keg king till Monday afternoon if that helps.
 
I had no idea this was going on, Hickinbotham is only down the road from me, I'll definitely have to try and get down!
 
You should have received an email. PM me if you didn't.
