Prime
report: There were no primes conducted this week. Maybe
next week. However just to make you happy I got around and took a
few snaps of the action. (Yes that was me sitting in my trusty chair
in the squircle). Double click on the thumbnail pictures under A, B
& C Grade & Juniors to open the image in a larger view. Sorry
D & E, maybe next week. Don't worry Ernie you won't be out of a
job with my photography.
