It's his new party trick Murray !!! "Watch while I soak this piece of paper and then write on it through the water!"

BUT the most impressive bit of the trick is that buying the paper and being ultra-prepared meant that the sun came out and we all got sun burn !!

Think maybe we should have provided cold showers for us to stand under out on the field in the afternoon while we all tucked into the icecreams !!! (Could have tested the paper at the same time !!!)

Well, if you drew up a list of places where waterproof paper would be most useful, my guess is that 'Norn Iron' would be top of it!

Along with North Wales one assumes.

And the west coast of Scotland would vie with both!

We started using it this year. we found that the best way to use it was if it started raining to blot it with a piece of tissue before writing and you could use a normal biro (the only problem I've come across was that the judge only had a red gel pen so the corrections got a bit dubious )

The website I got it from was £16 for 200 sheets, plus delivery.I bought thre different colours 600 sheets in all, delivery was £7. Centremaps, for those interested.

After months of experimenting, we got there. Don't waste money on TOUGHPRINT at 74p a sheet try COLORWAY photo paper at 6p a sheet (A4).

It works got a good test this week at double york. Inkjet printer on 140g double sided matte, otherwise water creeps in through the back.

ALSO
Anybody interested in an Excel Spreadsheet loaded with macros to print off results sheets at the end on the prizegiving (OK so I'm bragging, just a bit). Can be customised easily to suit any shoot.

Hope this is the right forum area for such matters!
