@ChristianMcNeill - actually you did not need to do all of that if it is downloaded from the camp site

Yeah if the camp sent an Excel file and not a CSV - I would be a little worried it was corrupted. The 3rd part software produces the CSV file.

@ChristianMcNeill - for future reference if the council/camp uses doubleknot you will not be able to import anything.
