I have heard that option 1 is in the lead. No news regarding quota though. My gut says 4 each, but that might also be the Hot chocolate I just had... Still drinking HC In November. with the rain pouring outside...

cant wait.i hope the bug bonanza wont be on the same time as the bonito at still bay.
last year the organisers only told us who the winner was.it would be nice to know what in order you came.


anybody know what happened to the money collected by that crowd that was going to fight the new cray laws last year.they gave up when it was going to be too expensive.
the organiser still gave a long talk at the last bug bonanza.
