Starting a New Handicapping Year . . . looking back and going forward

[DonGuido]

First off, we are very grateful to have been accepted into our new forum home. Many people had a lot to do with this coming about and you know who you are and I (we) thank you for it.

Secondly, let's do some campaigning here to see if we can entice the "older" more established members to join in our contests and see if they measure up to the high standers we strive to keep. Throw out the lassos and bring some new colts&horses and fillies&mares into the fray for next year.

Thirdly, some of you had some suggestions for minor changes to some of the rules we play by. I saved some key post information from TCTP but failed to save any of this kinda stuff that was posted in the open forum or in my PM's. Sorry, so if you have ideas you would like considered, post them here or you can PM me (again). Not to say we will honor all or maybe any but hopefully some good ones will show up. I have a couple already but send your thought and ideas in. I guarantee I will not be the only one to decide and will include others if not all here for consensus.

We have 9-10 days before our first contest, so keep those cards and letters coming in in short order.

We want to keep the basic format and how we play pretty much the same but there may be and likely will be some tweaks to make every Saturday or so a little more fun and maybe even better for all.

Thanks for being here and being who you are,
Best Regards and you knows I luvs all yas!!!

BTW - you can also just add thoughts and feeling and year in review reflections as well . . .
