As we have two Nationals a year, they have to be far enough apart from each other to make them worth while for those that like to attend both.

Looking back, the first ever National was on 8th January and I would imagine was bitterly cold (I wasn't around in those days), 18th March for the 4th meet at Haynes, and 6th March for the 10th National at Calne.

I was and it was freezing I can remember poor old Ken booking every one in and he was frozen stiff
