Might start saving up...
Title: Re: WPTcoming to Ireland Post by: Solaris on August 02, 2011, 09:29:04 PM Why do they need to make the event start on exactly the same day as the PCA? I realise its a cheaper alternative, but I struggle to believe they can't find anywhere else to fit it into January.
I wish all the tours would get together and sort out a calendar. |
