Shibas in the Big Rings – Remainder of March 2010
Thanks for your patience over the last several weeks. I think I’m going to start posting these group reports monthly and see how that works for me timewise so look for the next “Shibas in the Big Rings” at the end of April (which is not terribly far away either).
These group placements were won during the time period between March 14 and March 31, 2010.
