Much appreciated by many was the gesture from Garry, Eugene and the Harlow club to provide tea and coffee for everyone over the weekend.

Good to have Stuart keeping our visitors up to date on the Public Address with the proceedings.

With a good entry in all classes and just about perfect weather (three days of blue sky and low wind speed, although it was blowing out on occasions) this was a Nationals that dreams are made of.
