Hello all,

Two more days before the start of the European championships in Munich,
Germany. This also means there are only two days left to enter the European
championhips prediction contest ('toto' in Dutch). Entries must be filed
through the internet no later than tuesdaymorning 00:01.

The number of contestants is approaching 100. Those are mostly new
contestants, the 'regulars' usually wait for the last minute news
(cancellations, etc.). So it definately means something to win (or score
well) in this contest.

Are you interested to enter? Then check: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rvweele/

Enjoy the championship and the toto,
Wilmar Kortleever
(on behalf of contest organiser - and private sponsor - Ronald van Weele)
