The January review for #PWC2025 is now live on the blog. Best of luck to everyone for February!

We've now brought back the under 25 category, meaning if you are under the age of 25 on 01.01.2025, you could be the champion for this mini-leaugue. Don't forget it's not too late to sign up if you haven't already registered your patch. #PWC2025

A gentle reminder to get your scores and highlights for January in by tomorrow night, so that they can be used in the January #PWC2025 round-up on the blog. Any questions on figuring out your score, don't hesitate to ask!

We've now hit 100 patches signed on for #pwc2025. If you haven't already added your patch it's not too late to join! Follow the link to reach the sign up sheet and instructions:

Hope everyone has a good weekend on patch! We will be taking the January scores for the write up soon, so if you want your scores included, please have them in by midnight 5th February. This not the deadline to sign up, so don't worry if you haven't yet! #PWC2025
