A modest number of 2026 participants, all plotted in provisional positions for the new spreadsheet. My target for the year will be £10,000 in 2026. I'm just waiting for the 2025 final declarations before I tell you your new number (some of you know - these have not changed) - it's tricky, trying to give the lower numbers to returners with a proven track record of posting their updates, while taking some people's number preferences into consideration. Thanks for being patient.

Hello
I’d like to join again. Looking at this year’s figures, I’d like to try for a more realistic £8000.
Last year’s number or a new number will be fine.
Thank you 😀2 -
