Holden Scrambles 2016

[Hatchman]

Some dates to consider for this years S.A Holden Cheat Ball

http://www.holdenscramble.com.au/event#/customer/997/schedule/2016/3931

Not sure how we go handicap wise atm as you can only have 2x single figure GA Hcps in a team.
I'm trying my hardest by playing crap to get above 9.9 but it's not working so I'm stuck as one of the singles.

(http://www.holdenscramble.com.au/event#/customer/997/schedule/2016/3931)Here's a few that I could be interested in (Preference in green):

Aug Sun 28th - Clare
Start time 10am
Cost per person $39.50

1. Hatch - GA 7.3 (locked in)
2. Chilled - GA 6.3 (locked in)
3. Cooper Country - 11.1 (locked in)
4. Hard_Pan - GA 10.0 (locked in)

Sep Sun 18th - Ardrossan

Sep Sun 25th - McDuckcrappin

[wazamac]

Be interested in some but probably not The Dunes as too soon after getting back from QLD.
Might be out to double figures soon if don't pick my game up

[Chilled]

May Sun 8th - Copper Club The Dunes

June Sat 11th - North Haven (Hard Pans Home Course)

July Sun 31st - Balaklava (ex home club of mine)

Aug Fri 19th - Links Lady Boy (would need a day off for this one)
Aug Sun 28th - ClareI'd be interested in the above. Possibly not all of them but most, in particular The Dunes (haven't played yet), Balaklava (haven't played yet), Links Lady Bay, and Clare (haven't played yet).

I think we would be ok for H/C's, depending on who wants to play of course. We could push for two groups if there was enough interest.

[Hatchman]

We'll see if we can get the ball rolling for the 1st one.
I'm very keen for the first one in that list being The Dunes as I've never played it before either.

The Dunes Sun May 8th
Start time 9:30am
Cost per player $45

1. Hatch - GA 6.?
2. Chilled - GA 7.?

Have added the names of those intereseted in the OP and will keep updating under each game.

[Chilled]

H/C: 7 something for me.

2 hour drive to The Dunes right?

[Hatchman]

2 hour drive to The Dunes right?

Yeh, somewhere between 2-2 1/2 hrs.

That's 2 of us on single GA's so need double digit players now.
I might be able to get my dad if we get stuck.

[coalesce]

I still hate cheatballs so I'm out. Even more so when you've got to travel long distances for them!

If nearer the time you need players for the NH one, then you might be able to twist my arm - purely to support HP and the club's new owners

[Chilled]

There's a competition to be won? I just go for a good day out, a laugh here or there and experience a new track if possible. I certainly don't go for the prizes :D

[Coopers Country]

Definitely interested in the Clare one fellas , be great to catch up with you guys for a hit , and double digits here cant see myself being in singles by August :)

[Hard_Pan]

I have a love hate relationship with these things but any excuse to have a hit with you guys is enough for me. :)

I too haven't played the Dunes. My H/C is currently 9.2 which for the dunes could either be 9 (silver tees), or 10 (gold tees). Adding to the mix, we've got two weeks of par comps coming up and my next flag (a 9.0), comes up in a fortnight. So odds are I will be in double figures come May. ;)

I know what your saying. I'm not a real fan of the format either but happy to use it as way to play other courses and with forum members.

Agreed.

Excellent, looking forward to catching up. I've got you listed in the OP for the Clare game.

Cheers, mate. We should be able to get 2 groups for your Home track one but might need a couple of ring ins.
I've put you in the OP for the Dunes and Home track. Let me know if I should add you to any of the others that have names in them?

[thecollective]

I would be up for the Dunes + my apparent sandbagged hcp should be enough to balance the ledger.

If we need numbers I could also probably get my brother who also has a double digit sandbag of a hcp

[Hatchman]

Cheers TC.
OP updated for The Dunes. Got your Bro listed as on the bench.

[wazamac]

I would be up for: North Haven
Mosquito Lakes ( 15+ years since I've been there)
Tanunda (Need all the help I can get to putt the 10th)
Clare.

Current GA HCP is 9.1 and going out quick and with all of that water I'll be playing around in a couple of weeks, I cant see it coming down.

I've put you in games in the OP.

You thinking of "The Levels", "The Palms", "Mawson Lakes" or whatever they call them selves this year.
North Haven is Outer Habour

[wazamac]

South Lakes!

Really doesn't bother me either way. If you need me, I will play, If my HCP doesn't suit and you have someone else, then will step aside.

Happy either way.

[Hatchman]

Ha ha ha. I forgot the boys got eaten alive by king mozzies down there and mistook the mozzie reference for Mawson.

I'm sure we'll get teams sorted and can recruit others with some hcp to help the balance if needed.

[Hard_Pan]

I always refer to Mawson Lakes as Mosquito Lakes on account of the great clouds of mozzies that hover around the creek that runs the length of the 5th and 6th holes. Never played South Lakes so can't comment but yep, probably get a few there too. :)

Definitely South Lakes! It was diabolical when we were down there - a few of us vowed to never go back! Seriously, I have house-boated, camped etc and NEVER seen as many Mozzies as on that day.

[Hatchman]

First one at the Dunes is only 2 Sudays away now. Looking to finalise the group over the next week.

Just a reminder there can only be 2 players per group with a G.A hcp less than 10.0
We have problem with 3 of us in the singles atm.

So far we have:
Group 1.
1. Hatch 6.0
2. Chilled 7.2 or Hardpan 9.3
3.
4.

Group 2.
1. Hardpan 9.3
2.
3.
4.
Hardpan checking for North Haven brothers to make second group.

late scratchings:
The collective

[Chilled]

If hard pan really wants to play then I'm happy to duck out. Leave it up to you guys. Either way I'm easy.

7.2 H/C for me.

[Hard_Pan]

Err.. played today and.. it didn't help. With the amount of time remaining (and the max amount I can play in that time), my H/C cannot rise above 9.3.

Might put feelers out and see if I can get any interest from double digit H/C NH members.

I've started a listing for a second group in case you can get some North haven brothers to join in.

[Hard_Pan]

I have one already. H/C around 20.

[Hatchman]

Ok. It looks like this has just got a bit more challenging.

Sunday the 8th is Mums day :roll:

The collective is out now.

Does anyone have a leave pass for this day or do we just put a line through the whole thing and move onto the next one?
I have a pass as the Hatchery be doing Mum's days on the Saturday instead.

[Chilled]

Problematic with too many singles + mothers day. Just cancel and move to the next.

[Hard_Pan]

Oh dear! May 8th IS Mother's Day. Sorry Hatch, but I'm going to have to bow out too! :(

That said, my H/C usually rises over winter so I'll try to make at least two or three of the others as they come up.

[Hatchman]

Ok, The Dunes is toast now.
I'll edit the OP so it's less cluttered and were only looking at the ones coming up.

We move on to the next one which is Harpan's home course in June.

[wazamac]

Blown out to 9.6. Getting closer to double figures👍🏻

[Hard_Pan]

Ok, I've got two locals for Hatch and waza. It was all last gasp (two fellas I had lined up were snapped up by another group), so I will get the fellas details sorted by next w/end. I'll also find out if completing the form can be done on the day. Else, I'll get you to pm me all the relevant details and fix it up that way.

That's harsh �� , but can understand if our form is anything to go by ��

[wazamac]

Stuffed up yesterday by shooting a reasonable score and going down 0.2. Will see after today's pathetic performance.
Won't drop another flag for about 4 rounds.

[Hard_Pan]

Same boat waza but with the big exception that whilst you've found yourself with an unusually high handicap, I've landed an unusually low one for the next four or so weeks. :?

[billp]

It's a tough comp to do any good in.

I just played the Carbrook one on Friday, we all had from 16 - 18 caps, and ended up with I think a daily of 9.63 or something silly like that. We shot 4 under for the round with no bogies (pretty damm good for a group with no single figure guy in it), so ended up with 57.4 nett, and still lost by 6 strokes.

It's just so hard to know if everyone else is playing honestly or not.

Yeh, the comp does have a bit of a stigma attached to it. Often referred to as Holden cheat ball.
Personally and I'm sure I speak for the other SA OzGolfers, we just use the games to get together for a game away from our home tracks. It's not to chase winning a trip away for the finals.
Yes we try to play the best we can on the day strictly by the rules and if the score happens to be good enough so be it.

[wazamac]

10.1, Woo Hoo.

[Hatchman]

10.1, Woo Hoo.

Well done team mate. [emoji106]
I'll try and do my bit this weekend with a flag of 6.1 dropping off to be replaced by a 9.5 when I chop it again.
5 flags in the next 6 too [emoji3]

[Hard_Pan]

Hatch, waza, can you pm me your golflink numbers please. Needed by Saturday. Cheers,

[Hard_Pan]

Hatch, waza are locked in. 8am shot gun start. 7am for breakfast. You guys are playing with Dave and Danny. Dave's OK. I played a grades final against him (but I wouldn't remind him!). ;)

[Hatchman]

Thanks HP.
I did the wrong thing by the team today and lost 0.5 ☹️

[Hard_Pan]

Same here.. lost .02. I'll be playing of 8 within the next two comps if this keeps up.

[Chilled]

Geebus you guys are obsessed with your H/C's.

[wazamac]

Lost 0.2 today as well. Back to singles for me.

[Hatchman]

Could get moist tomorrow morning.

Moist or dry I'll still enjoy it [emoji3]

[wazamac]

MMMMMMM Moist!

[Steve57]

Lost 0.2 today as well. Back to singles for me.
You can only have two singles per team guys!

[wazamac]

We are covered for tomorrow as the other two in our team have double figures.
Were just counting on us blowing out for the next lot.

[backintheswing]

We have a couple of qualifiers coming up. I haven't played a scramble for 15 years, but just reading the rules and the drive you pick, that player is eliminated for the next shot. That's obviously something newish.

[Steve57]

That's obviously something newish.The last 4 years that I can remember Ash. Makes the choice of the next shot much more important. The low markers have to hit greens from some funny positions if you are to score well, as well as putt the dots off it!

[Hard_Pan]

Gonna a be a bit chilly and maybe a touch of fog going by what Wednesday was like. It will be very amusing if it is foggy and decides to hand around with a shotgun start and all bases loaded. Hatch and waza, be prepared to duck and cover even if you think you heard a 'fore!'

I also look forward to Hatch's appraisal of the course as this will be his first hit since the new management's 'upgrade' of the course. The greens now are quite a bit faster for one, quite a few trees have been pruned and/or removed, fairways are a bit better, bunkers have sand in them now (mostly), and the tee boxes are getting reno'ed.

See you fellas there! :)

Sun was out early, no fog, cool not cold and a bit of breeze made for good conditions for golf.
Course condition was much different to the last time visited. The rains have helped immensely but there is plenty of evidence the new caretakers have put in a bucket load of work in a short space of time. Greens are quicker and not bumpy. A lot of trees have been trimmed up around the place so it no longer looks scruffy. Grass coverage is returning on the fairways. Things are certainly on the up after BTM wrecked the course. The future looks good .

Now on to today's round. Getting off the tee and having the option to choose didn't happen too often and it was take who ever had one in play. With all that some good saves for par were made on the long par 4's early to hold it all together before making birdies on the par 5 from 2 foot (nice pitch Waz) and the long par 3 from 8 foot.
Held it there for a few more holes before making 3 bogeys in the last 6 holes to finish 1 over ending up in participation certificate territory. Still an enjoyable day with good company and thanks to HP for teeing up some locals to join us.
Danny did well to grind it out with his first game back from a long absence after the horrific elbow & wrist injury (push bike crash for those at home). Poor guy was topping everything until the last few holes towards the end.

[wazamac]

And thanks to Danny who hadn't hit a ball in a year.
Great day out. Thanks HP for the intro, nice little course and you can tell that there has been a lot of work done and how passionate the new owners are.

[Hard_Pan]

Very much a pleasure to have Hatch and waza at the home track today and proud of the new management putting in quite an effort to have it as presentable as it was today.

Typically, winning was never a consideration but as far as yours truly was concerned, there was a lot of fun to be had. I thought my team did quite reasonably and we were two under the card for most of the day, until the last two holes where we suffered some blips on some crucial shots to finish even par off the stick.

[Chilled]

Speaking of golflink obsessions, how on earth do you drop 0.1 when you didn't even have a flag come off?...:confused: wtf??

GL really befuzzles me sometimes.

[marcel]

When the round just submitted becomes one of your flagged rounds.

If that's not the case........I have no idea

[wazamac]

What really gets me is I have my 8 flagged rounds, with my lowest being 10.8 ranging to the highest of 12.7. My GA is 10.4. WTF.
I still have 1.4 till anchor so that isn't it.

[Chilled]

[wazamac]

Back to 9.9 after fairly reasonable scores on the weekend.
Drop another flag this Sunday, so there is still hope.

[Hard_Pan]

I'm up to 9.6. But, now that the pressure is off trying to get a low cap I might end up playing better!?!

Waikerie is only 2 weekends away. At least 1 of you need to get to double >=10.0 :D

Waikerie is only 2 weekends away. At least 1 of you need to get to double >=10.0 :D I suck at trying to 'play to' anything so this should prove interesting...

[wazamac]

Unfortunately it is Presidents Trophy Qualifying this weekend. I will try and play good, so therefore I will totally stuff up if that makes sense.:roll:

I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I fully understand the above :(.

I'll play Tanunda if there is a spot for a single figure.

[Coopers Country]

I think its teams of four :lol:

Ok, I've put you in my spot as I was only pencil.
I'll be occupied organising to head off on a Griswolds Hatchery road trip for NSW champs.

[Hard_Pan]

Can't get any higher than 9.6 by Sunday (Waikerie HS). Thought I'd report in case this in case waza's in the same boat. If so, I'm happy to step aside for this one and work towards the next one.

[wazamac]

Should be back to double after today. Will not officially know until tomorrow after the cards are processed. Obviously I don't want to have a good score Saturday.

[Hard_Pan]

Fingers crossed! :)

[wazamac]

Exactly 10.0! Woo Hoo:D

[Hard_Pan]

Good work waza! ;)

Nice work team mate [emoji106]

Fine form Waz,

See you Sunday, my inflated hcp will help us balance the ledger

[wazamac]

I noticed that the Wakerie website says start time of 11:00. Not that it bothers me cause I was thinking of heading up the night before.

[wazamac]

Filling in the forms up there I suppose?

[Hatchman]

I was going to enter on line to make sure we're in. Will check form on line when I get home and send out PM for the details required a bit later.

Well done on the good round but commiserations for taking one for the team.
I gained 0.4 today but it wont be enough to give me another shot thou ☹️

If it's the normal contingent taking part in an SA based Scramble event this won't even register on the 'dodgy' scale!

[Hatchman]

Today's winning score fits ^.

Organisation was shambles. Scramble site listed 10 o'clock start, club site had 11 o'clock listed. By the time that got organised it was more like 11:30-45 hit off. They didn't have enough give away caps so had the gift bags organised for the locals to collect theirs later but gave them out add hoc so we have to collect ours from a drop off point back in Rad if and when they arrive at Waikerie.

We were reasonably happy with our score of 5 under for nett 62 and weren't even close to placing in 6th spot in the run down.
With the chances we missed from 8-12 foot, 8 under would have been as about as good as it could have got and that would still be a long way off.
Three out of four played a large number of good shots. Hard_Pans drives and long seconds, Waza's pitching and seconds and Thecollective's seconds and a couple of awesome chips knocked dead from very average positions to save pars. As for the other team member? The only thing he did well was put the entry in. A fairly ordinary day for the boat anchor Hatch ☹️�.

Had a great day with great company on a very good golf course, thanks guys [emoji106]

[thecollective]

Thanks for the hit guys course was in good condition. I am truly astounded at the posted scores

Thanks for a great day's golf guys. Weather was pretty perfect and the course was as TC says in good condition. But don't believe Hatch; he did put in, as did all of us. Such a shame the dubiousness of this event was so evident today..

[wazamac]

Thanks for the hit guys. Very enjoyable course and company. Very dubious winning score of 59 off the stick from a bunch of drunkards.
It only makes me think what the regional final would be like with 18 groups all trying to outdo each other.

It only makes me think what the regional final would be like with 18 groups all trying to outdo each other.

You get allocated a Pro for finals making it a bit harder to be dodgy.

[Hatchman]

Next one on the list is Balaklava at the end of this month 4 weekends away.

We have the challenge of finding 2 double digit hcp players to join Chilled and myself?
Waz is on cusp of being under or over the mark.

[wazamac]

Will see how I go. 5 rounds until I drop a flag so the likely hood of me going further out at this stage isn't great.

[Hard_Pan]

We need to get on a recruitment drive! ;)

[wazamac]

We need your mates from the Haven!

[Hard_Pan]

I've spoken to HP2, he's keen but says he has to work out his 'schedule'. Playing off 16 with a dependable drive and a decent putt, he's a man in demand. Ha ha!

[thecollective]

sorry guys I am busy with expos now until mid August

[Hatchman]

With NSW champs not all that far away for me and a few things to sort out before we go I've decided to give the Balaklava Scramble a miss now.

[Chilled]

Will call it quits for Balaklava.

NB: I'm only pencil for Tanunda.

[Hard_Pan]

Yeah, Balaklava HS is toast but I think we should think about an Ozgolf hit there one day..

BTW. I've picked up the caps from the Waikerie scramble. Two whites with black logo and one blue with red logo left after I nabbed the black one. 😉 That said if anyone must have the black one... Let me know. Ha!

I'll bring all to next gettogether.

[Hatchman]

I'll grab a white as I already have a Blue one.

We could have an OzGolf day at Balaklava on any Saturday and join in the comp.

[Hard_Pan]

Done! On both counts Hatch. 😀

[wazamac]

Sounds like a plan, and I will have the blue cause I already have a white one please.

[Hard_Pan]

Cheers, waz. (Guess it's white for TC. :razz: ) Never played Balaklava so am keen. Just a matter of synchronizing dates I guess.

There's a 4BBB coming up Sat week at NH that is a bunch of meh for me - if that's not too early. After that, I've got two weeks' quals for the Prez Cup then matchplay - if I qualify.

[wazamac]

Anytime is fine for me. Good luck with the Prez Cup. I missed out on ours through countback. I had a 14/20 but because I started on the back 9 it looks like I had a 20/14.
Pisses me off a little.

Is that Sat 23rd?

[thecollective]

Looks like I'm going Pauline Hanson then!

[Chilled]

Out for Tanunda, sorry.

[Hatchman]

Ok looks like Tanunda on Aug 14 is out now.

We shall turn our attention to the Clare round on the Aug Sun 28th.
Can all those currently listed confirm they are still in for this and current exact G.A handicap.

Remember we can only have 2 single G.A's before slope adjustment in a team.
I'll be looking to enter team online as soon as I'm back from NSW champs Wed 24th.

[Coopers Country]

Still be keen Hatch , no way I will be under 10 by then currently 11.2 and drop a flag next week , if we need another double figure HC let me know Hatch . I gotta get out for a hit with you guys somewhere
So looking forward to it

Excellent CC. That 2 of us locked in.
We may need that other double digit if waz starts playing better.

[Hard_Pan]

I'm currently on 9.5 and if I don't qualify for the President's Cup matchplay this Saturday, I could be as high as a 10.0 as my next couple of flags are well into the double digits. If waza is too low, I may be able to replace him but will confirm after this weekend.

[Hatchman]

Cheers HP.
I'll be a pest :mrgreen: and keep bugging you and Waz when it gets close :D

[Chilled]

Confirm.

In the 7's here.

[wazamac]

9.7 and only going in one direction. Driving shit, irons shit, chipping shit, putting shit.

[Chilled]

Driving shit, irons shit, chipping shit, putting shit.At least it's all consistent :D

[Hard_Pan]

After today's hook-fest..

42150

Yeah baby!

That said, waza has dibs on Clare as he was first in.

[wazamac]

Your quite welcome to have my spot HP.

[Hard_Pan]

Thanks waz. Long way to go yet and I may bobble down again before the 28th (I guess either of us may). Let's say we keep the conversation going as the date approaches. ;)

[wazamac]

Sad News. I'm out. Won't get to doubles in time.

[Hard_Pan]

New clubs and all waz.. Well my handicap is still 10.0 and is in no danger of changing until I bomb out of the matchplay. Safe for another week at least.

[Chilled]

Hatch, sorry haven't given you a final GA, it's 6.8 currently, and will be that for a while now.

[Hatchman]

After NSW champs you'll be the low marker in the group [emoji3]
Next 2 are flags and one a good one.

Well, I'm into the matchplay semis next week which means my handicap won't change and I'm going to take care of my shoulder in between so I should be right for next Sunday. I'll give an update during the week to lock it in.

[Hatchman]

Cheers all.
I'll PM everyone when I'm back on Wednesday for details to enter us online.

Look after your shoulders everyone because I'm a dead weight with my game ATM [emoji12].

If you need a final h/c for the form: 6.3 for me. Also more than happy to drop money in your a/c this week if you want (?), otherwise on the day.

[Hatchman]

Chilled and CC I've sent you a PM for the details I need for the online entry which I'll get done once I have them.
I've still got yours from the Waikerie one HP.

Let's hope I'm prime for this as I didn't waste a good shot the whole NSW champs trip.

[Coopers Country]

Sent Hatch , I haven't hit a decent shot for 2 months but it doesn't mean i will be any good this week either

[Chilled]

Done and done. Look forward to see CGC, never played there before. Mate was telling me to look out for the 4th par 4, 430meters??

[Hard_Pan]

We're not going to win fellas, you know that? ;) Ha ha!

Looking forward to a fun bash with good company on a course I haven't played before.

Forecast is for damp conditions. Might get to try my rain gloves (yes, plural), out. :)

[wazamac]

Sad Face. Have Fun

[Hatchman]

Please note tee time is not correct on the Holden Scramble site.

Tee time is 10am not 11am. I've edited the OP.

The online rego for this one is disabled so I called them up. We are booked in.
I'll print and fill out a rego form with the details you've given me and well pay on the day.

[Hard_Pan]

Thanks Hatch. See you there! :)

[Hatchman]

Here now. As usual it's a quote cool in Clare.
Ive handed entry for in and paid.

Good luck fellas. Hatchy getting a hamstring cramp halfway through backswing is a highlight I remember from one of the scrambles:lol:

Fun day out guys, and good to meet a newy Coopers Country, will see you again on another outing.

Well that was a shambles! lol. We will need to go back next year to defend the bottom of the ladder :(

As above, we started in a blaze of glory and ended like a wet firecracker, it just didn't happen, too much choppin'. Clare not a bad course, you would want some sort of preferred lies, and way too many fade shots for my liking, so it will never really be one of my favs. But always good to see a new course, enjoyed the day out.

[Hatchman]

Great company made for good day.
Thought we might be in for a good day for a change after the birdie, birdie, birdie start. CC's iron off the down hill lie into 17 and that 236m 3wood bullet onto green on the fly on 18 setting up an eagle putt were awesome shots.
Sadly I think that's where the highlight reel ended for the day ☹️.
We couldn't buy a putt (common scramble theme) and had to chip too many times after all missing greens.

Thanks for a great day out guy's great to meet HardPan and Chilled , and the Hatchman again . As always great company made up for the poor golf , at least we got the unofficial Naga ;)
Looking forward to the next hit guys , can't wait

[wazamac]

Sounds like you had a great day apat from the chopping

[Hard_Pan]

Likewise, appreciated the great company and a day that ended up being quite nice actually. Pity we couldn't maintain the momentum of such a great start, probably when the day was at its windiest too!

Oh well, maybe we're just building for the next one!?!?! I obviously left all my best chips and putts at NH. I promise to bring them with me next time. :)

Good to finally meet CC. Really looking forward to the next one too, mate!

[Hard_Pan]

Sounds like you had a great day apat from the choppingThat sounds like it should be an Ozgolf motto waza... "A great day... apart from the chopping." It was a great day though and if we'd played this course before, I think we coulda dun betta.

[Chilled]

Did the Murray Bridge Holden Scramble last sunday....nabbed 3rd place (out of 19) and we didn't even play that well :D Just four birds, the rest pars.

I actually really enjoyed MBGC....first time I've played the course and they have some really gorgeous scenic holes. The short par 4 through the tree gap to bunker laden big green surrounded by trees was a lovely hole.

The only good thing about Murray Bridge golf course is the road leading out of the car park.

[Chilled]

Par 68?Good question! Absolutely no idea, but it did have quite a few par 3's so probably par 68 or thereabouts yep.

You're up Berri this weekend for the open?

Pity it wasn't the long weekend, I'll be up there playing probably Renmark and thinking about Waikerie also this time. Haven't played Waikerie yet.

[wazamac]

Yep, and then The Dunes will be my last games before the Champs. Need to give my head a break as the black dog is nipping again and bad golf doesn't help.
Have to decide over the next week if I will continue the membership or not, will go and talk to them to see if I can get a sabbatical.

Good idea Chilled and I'll be sure to bring some NH membership forms. ;)

Should I bring the eggs?

Waz, that doesn't sound good. Here to listen if you need?
