The day was an amazing success and probably one of the better Z1 days I have ever attended. A true credit to you and to us all as a community, who have arguably been pulling in different directions of late. It was a great day, and a pleasure to attend.
Roll on 2011 - I WILL compete next year (hopefully) following two years off!!!
And organising it too, no doubt!greatkingrat wrote:Thanks to Martin and Roger for organising it and I look forward to trying to defend the title next year.
