YDC73 Pimp Thread
Welcome to the first pimp thread for 2010 - all set especially for YDC73
I hope that you're all organised with your bits and bobs ready to list as we have great charities as the nominated charities this week.
Some of you may already know, but for those that don't, we have a rules discussion thread where the rules of the YDC have been laid open for alteration, amendment, improvement or addition. I have done this in an effort to attempt to a) give all members a chance at the winning spot so they can see their preferred charity as the YDC charity, and b) to get more people involved with the YDC as the more 'players' we have, the more funds that can be raised. If you wish to join in - the thread can be found here - http://meetup.ebid.net/showthread.php?t=132947
NB - Please note that there are NO changes to the rules - they are the same as they have always been - however - I have been slack in enforcing the rules so I will be enforcing rule 2 and any item in breach of this will be excluded from the winners' competition.
******
