olivea Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Do you know how many entries from each region are in yet? I haven't sent any yet - trying to get them to sit/stand long enough for a photo is proving difficult!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_angel Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Sadly we havent had half as many entries as last year at the moment. Think the contunued recession is causing people to feel the pinch. Each entry we do receive is very much appreciated. At the mo:- Mid - 16 NE - 10 NW - 9 Scot - 8 SE - 12 SW - 10 Wa - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
