TOPIC:

Just back from the NHC competition and I have to say, well done all round for a fantastic contest. A lot of obvious effort went into a well planned and thought out event. Over 300 entries, I'm guessing that there will be double that next year. A lot of "known names" got placed and fair play to Rossa for standing down and not winning every category.

Great buzz at the B&C- and great to see those that made the trek from outside the pale.

Looking forward to next year...

+1 to that

Great day out. looking forward to next year <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Didn't a certain other person win 1st and 3rd in the Cider category?
