I very much doubt Sam Masters would ever be at Glasgow, more likely to be at Edinburgh

I think that is what the limit was hoping to be from the monthly meetings at Rugby but now some teams have been getting their teams sorted, a few promoters have got together & fought to reduce the limit. (see story in this weeks SS) -

I’d be more than happy with that, but that team only fits if the limit is 40 still... if the limit is 39 then Harris will be in the main body and there’s around 5.9-6 ish left for the number 6 with Harris’ British deduction -
I write as a person of pensionable age who considers himself lucky & fortunate enough to have had a career with associated remuneration/pension and investments to comfortably afford retirement....as I say, I am both lucky & fortunate. Now onto my post inspired by the the points you have made which appear to be both insensitive and inaccurate. Please consider that the vast majority of folk retiring in 2024, started work back in 1974 (with folk over 66 starting work even earlier) when types of pension schemes were limited and yes, the state pension was a sum which was considered & promoted to be sufficient to live on. That said, many larger companies did provide a contributory defined benefit scheme based on accruals of 1/70 or if you were lucky 1/60. Of course many of these schemes are now closed as a result of the disappearing business's with the funds (if remaining) managed by the Pension Protection Fund offering fixed rates of income that are not in line with final salary. This scenario currently effects some 9.6million folk which is 74% of current pensioners. So although many folk had made provisions in addition to the state pension they have been greatly affected by the collapse of such schemes with little time left to make up via other means. Conversely, there is no "myth" about civil servants/local government pension schemes. Example, The Local Government Pension Scheme is a salary related benefit scheme (not affected by stock markets/investment fund performance etc) based on 1/49 accrual rate with employees contributing 25% and the employer 75% of the required contributions. This is a long established and exceptional scheme in comparison to anything available in the private sector and one of the main attractions to working in local government and similar public sectors and as previously stated - no myth.

Seems obvious to me you don't get first pick etc.At the last home meeting at Lynn the two riders who Lynn wanted as a rising star was either Flint or Jenkins and we have neither.
