Courtesy of the UKPA, an analysis of the alternative ways to determine the grades for the Nationals. I will admit I was personally sceptical of the Cup and Plate scenario but I thought it worked very well in the end and gave us some excellent finals, particularly in the Plate divisions. So there you have it, I was wrong!

A couple of litttle quotes that amused me greatly at the Nationals so I hope you enjoy them to, If anyone else knows any other ones let me have them!

"Where's the hard standing for my lorry?" (A question I regularly ask myself! I have never found any!)

"Do you know what the weather will be like over Nationals weekend?" (Seems reasonable enough but this was asked to Gail King two weeks before the Nationals, now Gail knows a lot but this is asking a bit much!)
