Recorded Dr M participation now.
You have two participation tokens on the sheet (CIty of Brass & Dr M). For an extra entry you need a third, from the main group, NOT backroom. Feel free to hunt up links from 2022.
We'll do the randomisation closer to 16 July, so you've 10 days or so to dig them out if you want
