Thanks for a suberb event Gary (and the sasuages).

Was great to see newcomers and a few new ants. Strange that the spinners didn't dominate this time.

As for me, a bit lucky apart from my wheels keep falling off. At least I got 2nd and 3rd which isn't bad.

Will try and get my website updated this weekend.

Forgot to say the ant/flea market worked out really well. Think we should do this as much as possible at future events.

That was a good event Gary and James, thanks for putting it on for us, and to Paula for the sausages :)

I apologise for anything I may of said in anger today, I was just frustrated, I promise I won't go off on one like that again

Yes, it was a great event. The sausages were great, and great to see some newcomers. The market was also great. I'll bring some stuff to the next one.

As everyone has said it was yet another great event thanks to all who helped (especially with the sausages) and congratulations to those who won awards. I also thought the bring and buy sale was a really good idea. Oliver if you look at the past results spinners rarely do dominate the top three positions. I think the two main reasons the spinners didn't do very well this time was there were less of them with our Dutch friends absent and they never do as well in an arena that you can fly out of in all four directions as opposed to an arena like mine where the non drop off sides are really non drop off ie. full height which gives you a 50% chance of staying in.

Sounds like another good day I missed.
