Applications for qualifiers coming in thick and fast. Can organisers note that it is their responsibility to email us results of qualifiers within one week of the show taking place. Photographs too would be useful( especially if Margaret Mc Stay is not present) - I can't promise but they will be considered for publication in the magazine.
