TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
Bribe level: good coffee.

Due to a error i had not noticed where we had over a hour for lunch round times have been extended to 2:15 per round. Start and end times for the day remain as normal though.
Thanks for those that brought it to my attention
