TRF Royal Ascot Competition 2022

[BigG]

Comp runs for 5 days from 14th June until 18th June.

My mate Jac (Triptych) has offered to do the first days marking, which is
a great help. You’re a star Jac, it’s good to have a day off with my feet up
just watching them I’ll manage the rest but may be a little late with
marking on Saturday as my Sis in Law, and a Ukrainian lady who she has taken in
to stay with her in Wellesbourne are coming up to mine for a week or so on the
Saturday. What a great thing for my SIL to do at 74, thank God for people like
her

Many thanks for taking on this marathon assignment – I am sure it will bring a lot of pleasure to the forum.

[Triptych]

Pleased to help Graham and perhaps some kind sole might do Saturdays scores for you so that you can add them to the weekly total, it really is a marathon task and to have those scores on the last day would be a great help for all you do for us in these comps.
I’ll be at Newmarket Saturday but keeping a keen eye on RA on the big screen.

Your sister-in-law is a true star Graham and I hope you have a lovely time showing her and her Ukrainian guest around the beautiful part of Scotland where you live.

Can’t wait for this..thanks again Graham and good luck to all players.

[Nathan Hughes]

Thanks BigG and Jac for doing this…

I’ll be scoring the Daylight Cup totals on Saturday otherwise would have volunteered to help that day but would confuse myself no end if doing both..

Charles Darwin to conquer the World

[BigG]

Thanks guys, don’t worry about the Saturday, I’ll get there eventually

[Triptych]

Take as long as you like Graham there really is no rush we’re all just glad to have a competition. Jac

[Euroalien]

Thanks for doing this Graham! & thanks to Jac for the assist on Tuesday. These comps are always a lot of fun and get our whole community involved. I plan on using a new shiny pin for my selections this week as the old one broke during the Epsom comp a few weeks back.

You’re welcome Andre, you’re a dab hand at these copetitions now,

Nathan you do enough for this Forum, about time some of us take
the weight off your shoulders. Hope you’re doing okay mate

[BigG]

Very glad to see you with us Ian, 5 days is a bit of a long haul,
but Jac (triptych) gives me the Tuesday off. Glad to see you

Enjoy your day off Graham and thanks for doing this.
