     Updated D and Series results up.

     I still need to update the Records following D and Series.

     Good Luck to all those doing DW.  Hope you get out of it whatever it is you are after.

     The next Waterside is Sunday 7th February 2010.  The pre-entry closing date will be published soon.

     I also hope to put the 2010 entry form up before too long.  Dates for 2011 also up.

     To those that have written with comments and "thank you"s - it is appreciated.
