It has been a rush creating the new website. The information for the BRONZE Acceptance List needed to be published quickly. So apologies for any inconvenience, especially Vicky Bowater (who has handled all the applications for the tournament and has been inundated with calls regarding the event).  A BIG thank you to Alan Spink of Action Photography who has very kindly supplied the images for the site.

Your comments will be much appreciated.
