To all captains in Divisions 4, 5 and 6 (from Steve Tilley):
Having tested it out with one team successfully I would like to offer you the chance of emailing your results to me rather than posting them. This has several advantages - it is quicker and doesn't cost you the price of a stamp; it lets you keep the original score sheet; it reduces the amount of paper I have to sort and store at home.
To email your result, all you have to do is to scan it so as to make a picture of it (e.g. bitmap, jpeg) which you can then send to me via email at berkeley456@white-house-farm.demon.co.uk (or via the Feedback page).
If you email a results sheet, I will send a message back confirming receipt. You can also use this email address for signing on players, cancellations etc.
You may of course carry on sending your results in the normal way if you wish. |
