Please note the change of Rule for NRs for this competition. I have found that, on balance, this provides a better return and is therefore not worth the extra effort of administering. I will still advise of any NR that has been selected

Well done to Doalittle on winning the competition but I think somebody should send Ron back to school unless my adding up is wrong. I had a 5/1 winner (Withhold = £10 + £2 stake) and a non-runner (Empress Ali = £2 refund). I make that £14. Does my refund not count? I might do better most weeks picking six non-runners!
Sorry QM. Just got in from a long evening out. The adding up was fine but having always replaced the NRs by the fav in this comp, I never had void bets before and unfortunately there was a very silly error that incorrectly returned £0 for the void bet. You certainly wouldn't be better off picking NRs with that little booboo (now corrected). My apologies also for not notifying you of the NR before the race. Unfortunately I was out all day from early morning (football tournament and match) until late afternoon.
That is okay, Ron. Notifying me of the non-runner would have made no difference as I was driving to HQ so I could not have substituted it. If you can last a whole day on the sidelines at a football tournament, you should check if you have any Scottish blood as there is a vacancy.
In the morning, we went to watch our 8yo grandson in an under 9 tournament and in the afternoon we went to watch our 11 yo grandson in an U13 league match. Then we went to a fish and chips evening at our local restaurant where Amanda sang a few songs. We have to support our family Actually, in the afternoon I was given the honour of warming up the goalie. By that I mean kicking footballs for him to save pre match
