So the South finished with 1398 points, the North with 893 points. Congratulations to everyone who took part, I've lost count of how many people have told me what an epic meeting this was! I'm just so sorry I wasn't there to witness the action for myself! But there's always next year! Congratulations to Divvy and Midge for hosting what must be the most talked of meeting this year so far, and congratulations to Dickie Boy for comprising such an awesome meeting, and then having to leave the meeting early to witness the birth of his gorgeous little boy, Teddy! Well done Rich, you the Daddy!
