I’m up for another after a long break, but my club is ‘mildly’ interested in a team effort. So they were going to meet and discuss it, but not until three days after the entries come out. They aren’t in a position to all meet.
If they drop it will I be too late to get in?

Not last year they didn’t. Still went in a week or so.

IIRC correctly it all used to go mental ten years or so ago.
