In addition, an
Excel spreadsheet version of the form is
available here that can be completed online. It does require you to have
a copy of Excel installed on your computer though. Click this
spreadsheet
link and select the Open option. The sheet is for number input only.
Numbers can be varied until a satisfactory result is achieved. Once
completed, the sheet should be printed and details like name, area, venue
etc handwritten in. The Form also needs to be authenticated (signed
manually). It can then be posted or faxed to the District Budgets Officer,
who can be contacted by email
if necessary to follow up.
Following the contest you can use this Excel form to complete your actual report of how the contest finished up.
