Wednesday 19th/Thursday 20th November 2008 - Some of Wednesday's games (Gameplan and Raceplan) have run late, with apologies. Part of the logic of moving to 9am processing (see below) was so I wasn't sat around waiting for today's post to arrive before running things. Which is fine, so long as they deliver the post. This week, they didn't deliver Tuesday at all, and so I waited for Wednesday's post which arrived at 5pm, which wasn't much use when I was due on the other side of London a couple of hours later.

Thursday the post (and some backlog stuff) all turned up normally, with apologies from the regular postie (good bloke) who'd been off ill the last few days.

Many apologies, but once again, it's Bromley Sorting Office.

Future Processing - From Wednesday 22nd October I'm going to start running turns at 9am in the morning, which means I won't wait for that day's post to arrive. Typically nowadays, it arrives some time between 1pm and 2pm, so I spend much of the morning thumb twiddling, and then a panic to try and get everything done, particularly if I have an evening meeting.

By starting earlier, I can get things done more efficiently, as well as getting email and postal reports off to you guys even quicker. It means those who rely on the post will need to be more disciplined, the "last minute post" is effectively a day earlier (but not really reliable anyway).

But if you're reading this, and post orders by snail mail, then why not switch to internet orders anyway!

************************

Players are reminded that if you've not received email results by the morning after they were due, and there's no notice of a delay posted here, please contact me to ask for them to be resent. 

It's not unknown for emails to go astray or be delayed, so please wait until the next morning, but if they haven't then shown up, please chase them.
