I’ve contacted Frank who has confirmed that he won’t be coming up with any money for the competition winner as it was a voluntary arrangement so he’s now decided not to. His decision, obviously, though any previous comments I’ve made about him being a sportsman are null and void. Chalky and I have discussed whether to cover his wedge ourselves but I’m currently against it as I don’t want to give Frank the perverse pleasure of knowing that we’ve had to do that. I may change my mind, who knows?

That leaves the pot at £70 made up from contributions from myself, Chalky, Howoldboy and Stephen.

Any thoughts, please leave them here. If anyone feels disadvantaged I’ll happily sort out a solution.

Incidentally, I’ve already got Chalky’s money for the eventual winner as he’s a gent and a sport.
