Is it too late for me to get involved? 
Also, is there a separate thread for this year's competition? I can't seem to find the A-Z list.

Ahh yeah, so it is, I just flicked to the end of the thread without noticing that the earlier posts had been edited. I'll get the PM sent now.
I also notice you're from Chorley, not too far from me at all, if you're competing then we might have to share info on where to buy, etc.
Cheers!

Haha i tend to go to a small beer shop in Manchester as i work in town so its a nice way to spend my dinner hour.
Booths in Chorley have a good selection though which is usually my back up.

Handy, i'm based in Spinningfields so easy for me to get to beer shops in town too. Not in the office all the time though so i'll have to plan my purchases early.

Ah not far away at all then as i'm just on Deansgate by the Hilton.
There are 2 beer shops. Ones called Beermouth on Tib street in the NQ and the other is on the indoor market.
Give me a shout if you want to meet up and i'll show you them

Am I in the game then? Not sure i've had a PM back and I don't see my name on the list on the first page? I fired an e-mail to the competition address, i'm just not sure if I need to do anything more.
You're in, everyone so far who has expressed an interest is in, I need to update the OP
I'd like to introduce a Joker card or as named in respect of our fallen, The Jester, you can play this card once and only once and you will get double points for whatever you score.
How about it?

Ooh i quite like that as long as you're happy administering it.
Should it be allowed for the scrabble round?

Yes however we are going for lowest points this time, I don't think it'd be great if we were going for highest points
Soldato
Oh good point about lowest points, i was thinking we'd be getting people getting double 8/9 points which would ruin things a bit.
Should this be made back into a sticky?
