I don't know if this has happened before but Dundalk appear to be breaking with Xmas convention and having a meeting on the 23rd. It's the only event of the day - and of course it's in the evening. Not only that but so far the Racing Post, on which I at least rely for my automated results, looks to be ignoring it. So can I take it we will too? Cheers Happy

If only we could do that with all Dundalk meetings Devil

Doesn't bother me either way - although technically it is an admissable event under the rules.
Report big_keef • December 12, 2016 6:20 PM GMT
i think it would make sense to class it as a sunday meeting, in case someone want's to put something up, just my opinion but it seems fairly logical to me, unless you settlers want the day off of course, doubt I will choose anything, but others may want to, up to you guys

Maybe best to break up for Christmas the day before.

Good evening all, hope you`re all keeping well.

I feel it is now time for me to retiree from settling. Work and personal life making things harder to keep up with it.
Must be 6 years now, phew, time flies. My final day will be December 31st. I and I`m sure the other settlers will be happy to help
in any way and show the new settler how to perform the relatively simple task of inputting with the spread sheet.
It`s been a great ride but now time to get off it.

Merry Christmas.

You're obviously worried about my arrival in Feb.
Seriously you did a great job Shane and I happen to know you are still of working age,unlike a lot of us on here. I am an IT moron but hopefully some other old bugger who knows what they are doing will volunteeer.

Sorry to see you go Shane Cry , must be the thought of Skinto joining you again in January Devil

You have done a great job these last 6 years keeping the rabble in the Premier in check and will be very difficult to replace.

Enjoy not having to worry about the Premier table again.

Was it the shock of someone putting up an even money winner the other day, that finally tipped you over the edge?
Report Reged • December 17, 2016 10:56 AM GMT
er, it begs the question though - who's taking over? Confused

A very sad day for the Naps Comp CryShocked.

You've made this comp what it is today, Shane, so hope you'll reconsider.

Good Luck and all the very best whichever.

Afternoon all.

Thanks for the kind words. I have really enjoyed it over the years, I`ll still compete.
I need a break for a few reasons, who knows maybe return one day?

All I can ask is the someone who has the time and inclination would step in and take over, all the help you need to begin with will be at hand, I`ll even talk you through it over the phone Laugh

Good luck with your bets/naps today troops.

Getting someone to take over is the tricky bit , wasn't exactly many volunteers last time.
Report soldieroffortune • December 17, 2016 9:55 PM GMT
shane I've just read this and I'm stunned!

You do a massive job on here for us mate, come on will you stay on. I think I speak for all of us in saying it doesn't matter if the table is posted up late of a night or the following morning if that gives you a bit more more time.

I remember way back in the day you asked me to stay on so would you do the same for us here now.

Afternoon Shane , hope you and your family had a very happy Christmas.

It took over 2 months last time to find a settler before I decided to give it a go as a trial , my trial has so far lasted 2 and a half years Crazy

So unless we get lucky it could take a while for someone to come forward Sad
