[wizard of Tauranga]

Big Ups to one or two you who I know are busy this holidays but playing anyway just to support the game.

Heads up guys, as you may know I run a tourism business and am currently working seven days a week and long hours. Our turnover today is 10 times what it was last week as an idea of what you guys enjoying yourself on holiday means to us!

While busy I still wanted to be involved in the game to bump up the numbers and provided some entertainment. I don’t have much time for research, but can draw on my goldfish like memory and will give it a good crack!

Good luck everyone and may the most Panthers like team win

Lulling you guys into a false sense of security.

Still get a half hour lunch break and that’s all it will take to clean up!

Let's see if it works - can people see the message at the top saying I have scheduled to lock this or can only me and tajhay see that??? Feedback appreciated.

I would appreciate it if people could be appreciative to tajhay who has coded up
1) the secret bidding tags for the silent auction
2) the secret thread locking function
3) Supports us having these games every year during off season.
