Thanks for that link, I've used these before with great success, but the price has always put me off getting more, but I think our club can take advantage of this offer.

i agree about the price. but when you can get complete kits for £2. 25  i think just how much mark up are retailers having?
rip off  Britian again?
but even if you dont hhave a club/association on your lottie,  worth 3 or more plotholders clubbing together I reckon
